Temporary construction pole... two 20 amp breakers for two circuits feeding two GFCI receptacles are sharing the neutral grounded conductor.

Wrong or not?

Re: Sharing a neutral

Why would you have to have handle ties? It seems there are (2) seperate gfi receptacles,they are not mounted on the same yoke.

For temporary circuits, 527.4(E) requires it.
