2 circuits feeding one outlet box.
I have a 2-gang outlet box in my basement.
I would like to feed it with two circuits. - One dedicated circuit for a refrigerator/freezer (with no GFI) - One shared cirucit for use as a general outlet (with GFI protection either in the outlet box or upstream) I have a couple of questions: 1. Is there any problem with feeding a 2-gang outlet box from two different 20A circuits? Is there any special labelling required? 2. According to code, can I run a normal size refrigerator and a small standalone freezer on the *same* 20A circuit? (from a power consumption perspective it seems that even the combined load of both would be less than 75% of the 20A breaker) Thanks |
