Piffle. That is *not* a requirement of the U.S. NEC -- it might be
of the CEC,
I don't know, but it's definitely not a requirement here.

There's nothing wrong with running a 3-wire circuit from the panel
to a point some distance away, then splitting it out into two
individual circuits that go
in opposite directions.


If this is not a troll?


Either that or someone very ignorant or who wishes to create dangers for
other people who might follow the advice.


Twayne, you have no idea what you're talking about. Google "Edison circuit" or
"multiwire branch circuit", and stop giving electrical advice. You're
completely ignorant.
