Handle Ties

[Alwayslearningelec]

Note attached. It would obviously be cheaper to run shared neutrals with handle ties rather than separate neutrals, correct?

Lol…yes I know it’s a dumb question and quite obvious but sometimes there’s something unique , odd or some wrinkle that someone else may know or have experienced. Hence the question. Thanks

Engineers need to do better with what they copy and paste. IMO a handle lock is not the same as a handle tie.

Keep in mind that some brands, notably Siemens do not appear to have a 3 pole handle tie. You either have to buy a three-pole breaker which is a big price premium, or what I have done is used and eaton handle tie which isn't quite correct obviously and you can't use the bar, just the snap over cover. I mentioned this because if you have to use three pole breakers it's a big price increase, but I imagine still much more cost-effective than dedicated neutrals and all that wire and extra pipe fill excetera
