    You don't. If you did it the way you want you would grossly overload the circuit. You add the 240 VAC circuits from the breaker box. Each outlet will require 2 breakers. What are you trying to do that requires 4 240VAC circuits?

    You can add to the circuit. Receptacles do not add load, what's plugged into them does.
