Right, and in case anyone is interested, here are some numbers to back it up.It saves natural resources, reduces voltage drop, reduces wasted power, (wattage) saves the customer in installation labor, electric bills, etc...
Does that include the service and feeders?The project I'm working on now has a spec that states NO SHARED NEUTRALS.
And a different meaning too.It has a different sound if you say:
NO SHARED GROUNDED CONDUCTORS
How is it *not* less wire? I mean...instead of pulling 2 home runs you only pull one...but then if you wanna take one circuit somewhere else you have to pull some more wire...so I guess maybe it balances out, and it's really not less wire...right?Originally posted by Ed MacLaren:

Trust us, there is less wire and/or cable to pull. When you get some experience in the trade, you'll know.Originally posted by midget:
