Hi,
Is there a reference in NEC that states what is permitted and what is not permitted for a breaker protecting multiple spliced branch circuits? Say I have a 40 Amp breaker protecting #8 that comes into a JB and two #12 circuits come out and run to a load? I'm not sure this is allowed, since I'm changing my wire size and turning one circuit into multiple circuits.
Thank you.
