You can not, a new circuit will have to be run from the electrical panel. Tanning beds which require four wire circuits, need a grounded conductor (neutral) that is not available with a three wire circuit.

Get an electrician.

What is normal house current three wire single double or three phase?
Normal house current is two-phase, 240V. What comes into the house is two hots and a neutral. From hot to hot you get 240V and from either hot to neutral is 120V. In the electrical trade there are only single phase and three phase systems. The reason it is called single phase is that the primary connection on the high voltage side is one leg of a three phase system. This 3 PH system is usually about 12500 volts. On the primary side of the transformer, the connection is between one phase of the three phase system and ground usually in the area of 12,500/1.73 = 7225 volts. The secondary side of this transformer is 240 volts with a grounded center tap. As stated above this is where the 240, 120 voltages come from.
What are the averag volts used in a US Home?
US homes use a 240 volt single phase 'Edison' system. It is a 3-wire (4 with the ground) system. Phase to phase measures 240v, while each phase to neutral measures 120v.
What wire size for 100 amp single phase 3 wire commercial service?

How can I convert standard American 240 volts 3 phase to 1 phase 2 wires 1 hot and 1 neutral?
It doesn't need to be converted. The 240 Volt single-phase electricity is there already to operate any single phase devices. New breakers, the right size of wiring and a new wall outlet are what have to be installed to add a new single phase 240 Volt circuit to an existing breaker panel which already has a three-phase supply. For safety reasons only a trained and licensed electrician should work with this equipment. Careful! The statement above can be misleading. The Asker is obviously not from the US, he thinks US 240V is three phase, when its really single-phase. But note that he wants to convert to single-phase with one hot and one neutral. This is consistent with European standards with 230V single-phase where one wire is hot and one wire is cold (neutral). You cannot connect a European 230V appliance directly to US 240V because this would connect a hot wire to the appliance's grounded connection, potentially making the chassis components hot! So, while it is true nothing needs to be done to convert US 240V service to single-phase (because it already is), it is not correct to imply that US 240V can be used where you want 240 volts with one hot and one neutral. This would require an isolation transformer or other approved international voltage converter. For more information see the answer to the Related Question Can you plug a 230V 50Hz appliance into a 240V 60Hz outlet? shown below As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work ANDalways use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
What is the formula to convert 440 to 220 single phase while in motor rewinding?
If it was 440 v single-phase, use half the number of turns in the windings, but use thicker wire of double the cross-section. Or to use the same wire again, fold the wire once into half its length and use that.
How can you get 240V single-phase power from a 240V 3-phase service Can you just connect to two poles of the 240V 3-phase service?
If the 240V 3-phase service is 240V phase-to-phase, then you can get 240V single-phase by simply picking two phases (poles, as used in the question) and connecting the load across them. This is simply one third of a standard delta connection. If you need 120V/240V split phase, i.e. with a neutral, as used in residential services, you will need a transformer. If the service is actually a four wire "quadraplex" service, however, you will probably already have that 120V/240V with neutral connection phase available. In this case, you will need to pick the two phases correctly in order to get the proper 120V service half.
How can you get 240V single phase power from a 240V 3 phase service Can you just connect to two poles of the 240V 3 phase service?
I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear, but you probably need to ask an electrician familiar with your service and what you want to connect. As a general answer, you can connect a 240v line to line resistive load like an electric water heater to any 240v source. If you also need the 240v to have 120v line to neutral, like a 240v electric stove that contains a 120v clock and oven light, then its possible if the 3 phase power is connected in a "high delta" configuration, and you connect to the correct leads. If you have a high delta service and want to ignore the 3-phase power service and wire most or all of the loads in the building as a single phase load, the utility may have to be consulted.
How many wires come in from the weather head?
If single phase - 2 wire service > two wires If single phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 4 wire service > four wires US residential service is usually single phase 3 wire service: Two hots and neutral.
Can you wire up a 240 volt single phase water heater to 277 volt single phase?
no
What is the difference between single phase circuit and tree phase circuit?
single phase have 2 wire treephase have 3, and 4 wires
How many single phase can you run on a 100amp 3 phase?
You can divide a three phase service into (3) single phase circuits providing you have a 4th neutral wire.
What will happen if you use phase to phase voltage for a single phase device?
Phase to phase, two wire is classed as single phase. If the voltage from the phase to phase match the device's operating voltage, then connecting the device will allow it to operate.

How many volts is there in a single phase?
The number of Volts in a residential service drop in the US is either 120V 2 Wire, 120V-208V Network, or 120-240V 3 Wire. A 120-208V Network service is not single phase, but its 120V portion is.
What are the averag volts used in a US Home?

How do you wire a two-phase outlet for a stove?
Two-phase power is not generally available anywhere and three-phase is largely used for commercial and industrial applications.Residential power in the United States is single-phase, limited mostly to 240V at the service entrance panel as two legs of 120V each plus a common neutral.If that is what you're making reference to, please see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
