Default What is piggybacked wiring?

Ooops. To clarify, what I meant to say was one SINGLE breaker with two hot wires
"piggy backed" so it feeds 2 circuits.

Default What is piggybacked wiring?

If this is something an inspector pointed out, John may have nailed it. If
so, it would be a matter of separating the individual circuits and
installing them on their own breakers. This is done sometimes when the panel
is full. You would then need to either use "piggyback" breakers or install a
sub panel or "piggy back panel" lol
