My wording is less than clear a lot of time, I am getting off my feet a few and this is like mental masturbation crashing in these threads. It was me clearing a thought about trip speed on a tied breaker, so there is a delay in the second cause we tied them with a nail, the reason for the opening of the second isnt fault with device on the other circuit but simply for service and disconnect.
Would clear a fault tied or not. I got a call from the maint and handyman of the church. The panel was well stuffed and packed with tandems. A lot going on and some wire to breaker mismatch, some 12 on 15 and they didnt realize the guy prolly only had 12 on the truck and it connected to 14 down the line in Jbox. I know the last guy did this job. He is not loking for extra hard work but is a top master aint gonna get the basic ocpd wrong and violate some major principle. We had blacks we had reds we had some switchloops, multi wires on different tandems from hell. Took me a few minutes to grasp a couple concepts a true master used to apply the rules. In all the confusion I find where he had landed both ungrounded conductors on L1 thru different breakers and I thought thru the different scenerio and come to the conclusion both were on light circuits, no recept, fixed fixtures nominal load, I even might have tried to fix it but it was congested to say the least. They did some addition and wished they would have used 8 space instead of 6.
