Default OT: Weird wiring

(PDT) typed in rec.woodworking the following:

I don't know if a "super-Edison" (I made that up) would be allowed by code,
but I can certainly imagine someone grabbing some 12/4 Romex and running
one.


Could only occur on a 3 phase circuit - and BY LAW all edison circuits
MUST use a "tied breaker" - and in a fused panel a "ganged pull-out"
which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to shut off power on one side only.


By *law* or by *code*?

I did mention both code & 3 phase circuits earlier. Of course, we don't know
if code was followed.


And that there is the kicker. Doesn't matter what the standard
is, if there was a standard, "it worked" and got "signed off".
