I was reading the December issue of Electrical Contractor magazine and saw a question regarding wiring a 277 light and a 120 volt fan on the same switch. The response was that the switch needs to be listed as "2-circuit".

Am I missing something here? Isn't there a requirement for two circuits on the same yoke to be disconnected simultaneously? How is this possible when the lights and the fan are fed from two different panels?

You can read the entire question and answer here:
