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.


Got reiteritus? *Can't recall what you've already said? *What about an
Edison ckt would you like to discuss? *DC? AC? Audio noise? Symmetry?
Doubling the power of a 120Vac ckt? Where the number of neutrals define such
a ckt? Transverse & longitudinal loading? *Maybe Differential mode? *RF
filtering? The inherent dangers of working on an Edison ckt? Live Neutral,
dead Hot? Something in the ESH bulletins? *Physics, so far, still holds on
this world and certain things are just going to happen based on other
things.
* *They all fit and are part of it. Because you're too thick to understand
the dangers of the OP's situation is your problem, not mine. Edison ckts are
inherently dangerous to humans working on them and when you consider the
other angles of the op's query, he's in a rather dangerous situation.


After filtering out all the total nonsense that you just interjected
into the discussion, you've finally hit on one thing that has some
truth. I agree, Edison circuits can be more dangerous for those
working on them, mainly those who have limited experience with
electricity. That is why the NEC now requires the breakers be
interconnected so one cannot be on without the other.

However the above is very different from coming in here calling Doug a
troll and claiming that 120V edison circuits are not allowed under the
NEC. That is totally wrong and shows that you are in fact clueless.
Do you see anyone else in this thread agreeing with you on that
claim? Hmmm? And I'd say someone clueless pretending to know what
he's talking about is far more dangerous than an Edison circuit.





* *So I'd suggest that you are the one who needs to spend some time in
research to determine what your reaility really is.
* *Then of course you should stop trolling as food if going to become very
scarce and you'll never find a way to overcome your impotence here. If
ignorance is bliss, I see you must be a very happy person.
