ONLY if you can run a single wire along side the 2-wires. If not, running a 3rd by itself will cause the magnetic field of the wire to overheat (when they're run together, the magnetic fields cancel each other out).
Short answer: Probably not.
You cannot run a separte wire all by itself if the 8-2 is in a cable assembly. It isn't allowed by code. Technically you could run 8-2 cable, and then a separate #8 within a conduit, overheating will not occur and the wires do not cancell each other out when considering magnetic fields. It is however true that Phase A and Phase B have completely opposite magnetic fields, but overheating still occurs, this is why wires are derated when they are all run in the same conduit.

Can you connect a 3 wire fan into a 2 wire supply?
yes....the third wired can be connected to a metal housing of the 2 wire supply as a ground
What is difference between 10-2 and 10-3 wire?
10 is the gauge of the wire, 2 and 3 are how many leads are in the wire. For instance 10-2 wire is 10 gauge with two leads, 10-3 is 10 gauge with three leads.
What will convert Fe plus 3 to Fe plus 2?
fe+3=..............* .9 =fe+2
What is 2 or 3 mm in inches?
To convert mm to inches divide by 25.4 2 or 3 mm = 2/25.4 or 3/25.4 inches
How many romex wires can you put undet a staple?
It depends on size of wire and size of staple. a staple 1/2 inch long can hold 1 10-2 wire, 1 12-2 or 12-3 wire, or 2 14-2 or14-3 wires. basically the bigger the staple the more wires. Just be careful not to hammer the staple into the wire. You want the staple snug but not biting into the wire.
What is the Advantages of 3 wire rtd over 2 wire rtd?
It is more accurate, a 4 wire is more accurate than 3 wire and 3 wire is more accurate than 2 wire.
Can you turn a 14-2 wire into a 14-3?
The only way to change a 14-2 wire into a 14-3 wire is to physically remove the 14-2 and replace it with a 14-3.
Will a 2 pole wire work with a 3 pole plug?
A 2-pole wire will not work on a 3-pole plug. You will need to use a 3-pole wire on a 3-pole plug.
Can you Convert a single 220 line into two 120 lines?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. Yes, but you will need to change the wire from a 2 wire cable to a 3 wire cable. This allows the neutral to be brought out to the load.
Explain the comparison between dc 2 wire system and ac single phase 2 wire system and ac 3 phase 3 wire system and ac 3 phase 4 wire system?
of all of dem 3 phase 3 wire is most economical as it uses less conductor dan in 4 wire system, 3 phase 3 wire is used in transmission and 4 wire in distribution as it has 3 live and one neutral wire. 3 phase needs lesser conductor size than 2 phase 4 wire for the same power. 3 wire dc feeder is more economical than 2 wire dc feeder for the same power. that was all i cud get..... hope u find it a lil helpful.
What are the advantages disadvantages of 2 or 3 wire deep well pumps?
2 wire pumps have the start controls inside the motor, 3 wire have a separate start panel that needs to be mounted in a dry location above ground. If there is a problem with capacitors or relays, the 3 wire panel can be repaired easily. Not so much with the 2 wire. 2 wire can be cheaper and quicker to install.
What are the different RTD types?

How do you subcract fractions?
This is very similar to addition. You first have to convert to a common denominator.For example, in 3/4 - 1/2: First convert everything to fourths: 3/4 - 2/4. Next subtract the numerators: (3-2)/4 = 1/4.This is very similar to addition.
