parallel feeds using MC

[Pierre C Belarge]

Is there a exception for grounds included in cable assemblies somewhere? I foggily recall something about neutrals or grounds that could be undersized if they were in a cable assembly. I could be way off on that one..

Go to 250.122(F). Conductors in Parallel.

As was mentioned before, passing an inspection does not always mean the installation is to code.
One should not depend on an inspector to make sure his install is correct.
