Can I Share a Ground?
I'm running two circuits in a single conduit:
- a 240v 20amp for a wall A/C outlet - a 120v 20amp for a shop outlet Can I run a single 12 ga green ground wire for both circuits? |

IMHO: When using conduit that can also be used as the grounding path (EMT, MC, etc), pulling a seperate ground, rated for the highest breaker/fuse, makes sense. Good luck, tom @ www.NoCostAds.com |
