Multiwire Circuits

(OP)
“…if, on a multiwire circuit, the two phases are wired to the same electrical receptacle (upper portion to one phase, lower to another phase, by breaking the tie on the receptacle sides) then a common-trip breaker should be used on that circuit. If breakers were wired in parallel, rather than in series, as is done in some states, then common trip ties are not required.”

 

 

How can breakers be wired in parallel?????
