Trying to figure out why a wire set was run.
In my panel I have a couple of wire "bundles/cables" consisting of 1 Blk, 1 Red, 1 Wht, 1 Grnd all in grey wrap insulation.
On one cable, the Blk connects to a 20A breaker (goes to kitchen plugs), the Red connects to a 20A breaker (goes to dining plugs). The wht connects to the neutral.
Does this mean somewhere in the wall the the neutral in this bundle connects to both dining plugs and kitchen plugs?
Not sure why this would be okay if you have to run separate circuits to each area, seems like the neutral is doing double duty. Of course there's only 2 plugs on each circuit (small rooms), but still...
I would think each circuit would need it's own neutral back to the panel (like standard romex).
Assuming this is ok, curiosity as to the reasoning behind code.
Also, I have a double breaker that has a blk & wht wire attached. I understand this is okay but question about marking. Does the wire only need to be marked black at the termination or also at the panel (understanding that at the panel you are looking at the wire connecting to the breaker and hopefully it's obvious it's powered). Just wondering if code required both ends.
Thanks :)
