Hello,
Doing some residential re-wiring in a panel and came across something which I assume is common but I have not seen before(I am not too experienced).
The fridge circuit and Microwave circuit are served by one, 12-3 wire, sharing the neutral. I think there is another couple circuits like this, but I cannot remember what they serve.
They originally were not on double pull or handle tied breakers, do they need to be? Is this what is called a MWBC? They appear to be legal. Are they accepted as good practice these days?
thanks
Brett
