Neon lights

[Shockedby277v]

Do neon lights need a seperate neutral and ground for any reason?? Can you put more than 1 neon sign on a circuit??

The ones I have installed all had transformers and you rated it accordingly. I didnt do it any different then any other circuit. On the load of the transformer is a different story.

When secondary ground fault transformers were first introduced, some transformer manufacturers required a dedicated neutral, but I don't think they do anymore. We generally still request a dedicated neutral.

You can put as many neon signs on a circuit as that circuit will legally carry, which in the case of neon for some reason or another (600.5(B)(2) is 30 amps. Fluorescent and incandescent are 20 amps (600.5(B)(1).
