Here is the scenerio, 12-2 hot feed comes into Box 1 where there is a 3-way switch for the lights of a ceiling fan/light combo. From Box 1, 12-3 travelers and 12-2 power go over to Box 2. At Box 2 there are 3 switches. A 3-way for the light, a single pole for the fan and a single pole for a flood light. 12-3 is used as the switch leg going to the fan/light and 12-2 goes to the flood light. All neutrals in Boxes 1 are tied together and all neutrals in Box 2 are tied together. Now we have parallel neutrals, the 12-3 traveler neutral and the 12-2 hot feed neutral. I just cannot find any real danger in this setup. It's all the same circuit, all conductors are properly sized for the OCPD. What makes it non compliant? What's the danger?
