what happens if two different ckts share the same neutral on the same phase?

You use less resources.

Two 15 amp circuits on the same phase would need a 30 amp ungrounded conductor.

Edited neutral to ungrounded.

The neutral carries the total load of both phase conductors.

Check out this thread.

You have to skip by the multiwire branch circuit hubub. :roll:

Bob,

ungounded, or grounded?
