A 240V sub panel requires 4 wires. 2 hots, neutral and ground. Neutral and ground are separated in the sub-panel. The sub-panel will most likely need a ground bar added for the ground. The neutral goes to the bar already in the sub-panel but you need to remove the bonding screw from the bar to the panel. The neutral needs to be isolated. The neutral is how you get 120V.
