Re: Homeline Panels
Roger. That only applies to the grounded conductor and has nothing to do with CB's.
Gunny. We just discussed this at a code class. The instructor explained it this way. Most CB's are not designed or listed for that use, therefore it is a code violation. I believe this would fall under article 110.3(B). You will not find in the code book where it saids that you can not terminate 2 wire on a CB.

Re: Homeline Panels
Highkvoltage, what are you talking about?
Read the first post S L O W L Y and CLOSELY, then tell us where you saw CIRCUIT BREAKER (CB)in the question.

Re: Homeline Panels
This question is usuly after a home inspection.
Ok that's another thread.
A grounding/neutral bar that is listed for more than one wire is allowed to have two grounding conductors (bare) in one terminal.
But you are not allowed to install more than one grounded conductor (neutral) in one terminal, even if so listed. As Roger has said 408.21 (2002 NEC)
Now what I can't find is this same requirment in the "99" NEC There is nothing in 384 and 110-14 is the same in both the "99" and the "2002" ???

Re: Homeline Panels
110.3(B) is the correct answer. Read manuf. instructions. Example "When used as service equipment any unused neutral holes may be used for equipment grounding. Small wire holes are suitable for (1) #14-6 wire or for (2)#14-12 wires. Large wires holes are suitable for (1) #14-1/0 wire or for up to (3)14-10 wires." Same manuf can have different spec on whatever version of load center.

Re: Homeline Panels
The wording limiting you to one grounded conductor per termination point was added in the 2002 code so that the code matched the UL standard. The UL standard has prohibited more that one grounded conductor per termination point for many years. Prior to the '02 code the only way to enforce this rule was by citing 110.3(B).
