Homerun with two networks?

[Christoph]

This is most likely just a terminology issue for me and i have a couple of guesses but I figure i better ask to be sure:

What does it mean to have homeruns with two networks?

Google search wont get past baseball :roll:

Possibly they are referring to two sets of 120V outlets fed by an MWBC homerun?

Always be suspicious when a spec is written in hipster font...

my boss in 70s would use that term..but he meant what we call MWBCs... and he would start with number ten wires and drop to number eight if we were exceeding a certain distance... on 20 amp breakers...

I would guess that it's 2 sets of 3 phase with a neutral and EGC. (A-B-C-N-G)

Depending on the job, this could give you an edge or make you lose the bid. I am with the others that it means an MWBC. However, I would likely ignore the note if I were building the job. As an estimator, I only but one MWBC per conduit home run anyway so that wouldn't change. But during construction I doubt anyone is going to check. If they do, then I would argue that the statement is not clear, and I would argue code. It is very doubtful one would lose that argument. so with the unlikelihood that it would even be checked doubled by the likelihood that you would win the argument makes the risk/reward a good gamble.

rather than guessing or relying on semi-anonymous advice from the Internet on what it means, why not just email them and ask.

Yes, the term "network" has been used to convey that set of conductors. I have also heard it called a "full boat."

I have run up to five circuits in one conduit but whenever I combine them I upsize the ground and always run neutral and live together.. not an mwbc usually

Could be 2 circuits, wanting to use 12/2/2/2 multi-circuit cable?
