Got a big fix-it job where owner did all his own wiring - I noticed some 3-wire circuits 'same phased' so I correct that - not bothering to also see if they were double fed as well.... All in one big simultaneous "WHAP!"
2 branch and 3 feeder breakers from both paths trip. He tied smokes from one part of the house to the other in two different re-hack-modeled jobs together - being fed from the same phase had little effect - Until I corrected the 3-wire he had fed one with. One set from one sub-panel, the other from another sub-panel - through another.
Oh and whole time he was adamant that the work was done by this or that person - but he knew too much, and I already had the lo-down that He did it all....
