My panel is a 120/240 single phase 2 hots (120 to neutral or ground one side the other is also 120 to neutral or ground or 240 hot to hot) what I did is hooked 2 wires on seperate 20 amp single pole on one side of my 120/240 and 1 wire on a seperate 20 amp breaker on the other side and used my neutral for all three hots
 
Re: neutral

This is NG. You need to have only two circuits sharing a neutral on opposite phases in a single phase 120/240 volt system.
 
Re: neutral

Oh, I see. You pulled the ol start another thread using the same question trick.

shame on you!

It's still the same answer!

NO!

Re: neutral

Paul, you need to hire an electrician. Did you read the forum rules?

Re: neutral

What is the prefab whip for? Hire a electrician! You can not share the neutral with circuits on the same phase. Putting breakers on opposite side of panels does not change anything.
 
Re: neutral

Okay, I've got to regroup here, what size wire did you use for the "Grounded Conductor".

Might this be a test?

Roger
 
Re: neutral

I was thinking that too Roger. But then why the question?

Edit: The conductor size, not the test question.

that was what I thought the OP was asking?

Re: neutral

I should clarify what I mean.

An electrician should know that the neutral cannot be the same size for two circuits on the same leg as it can be in a MWBC.

Re: neutral

I am temporarily closing this thread, in order to discuss with the other Moderators the question of whether it violates the DIY rule. If we conclude that it does, the thread will be deleted.
