I work in a venue with a Sensor "Classic" rack that has around 100 dimmer circuits on D20 modules. Each circuit is distributed to a single receptacle in a 1-to-1 configuration. We are in the USA, so each circuit is 20A 120V. We have some new temporary (rental) gear coming in that requires a 240V circuit. I know that I could achieve this with a 2-pole breaker in a traditional panelboard, so my question is this: If I put in a CC20 module (constant non-controlled breaker), could I then combine the 2 existing circuits into a 240V at the other end? I know there are a lot of reasons why this might be a bad idea from a long-term/confusion standpoint. This would (obviously) need to be notated and labeled accordingly to avoid safety problems if anyone tried to update anything...but from a purely ELECTRICAL perspective, would it work? I understand the HOW of the wiring to accomplish the receptacle and it is for a short-term (temporary) use and I am the only person at our venue who would ever be anywhere near the wiring, so I am not particularly concerned about anyone messing things up.
