Thanks, Charlie B. I'm beginning to see the error in my thinking. :smile:
they will lose that argumentwinnie said:One could argue that the two 'home runs' connected to a single breaker constitute a single circuit.

Pain? Do you expect the circuit or circuits to be tripping? No problem with the setup per NEC. As a matter of fact not far off from the 2008 code where all MWBC need the common trip breakers. He's just starting in a different way with 2 neutrals. :grin:Lcdrwalker said:I can't think of a code violation but it would be a pain to have both circuits trip at the same time.
Thank you for your service.

Load out of each gfi and break both tabs, hot and nuetral, on the outlet...480sparky said:How would you GFI protect them then?
No we haven't.electricmanscott said:Well, we've finally run out if things to discuss.
I agree, if any one cares. Can't imagine why he would do something like that.Lcdrwalker said:I can't think of a code violation but it would be a pain to have both circuits trip at the same time.

yeah I agree that if it was sited it would be hard to argue as workmanship is more of an opinion than an actual fact. There aren't any cut and dry rules for workmanship. I'd laugh in someone's face (or maybe I'd spit in it I'm not sure yet) if they claimed to me that it was unworkmanlike to do that type of installation. I mean if I stripped the wire out too far back under the breaker or knicked the conductor or something like that then they have a valid point but other than that.......wawireguy said:I'd cite 110.12..

I know I could!alfiesauce said:Could you
1-run those same 2 circuits into one outlet
2-then place them underneath that 2 pole breaker
3-place a split receptacle on them breaking both the neutral and hot tabs of the receptacle?
