Combined Neutrals
Combined Neutrals
(OP)
Here's an oddity I came across. An electrician was called to a house, because of lights flickering. He came to believe there was an open in the neutral of a 2-wire branch circuit. But he was unable to locate and correct the open. So, he jumpered the neutral to the neutral of another 2-wire branch circuit, in an existing outlet box.
Which sections of the NEC did he violate?
Another question, please. Why is this forum titled "IEEE (electrical) Code Issues Forum"? Wouldn't "NEC (electrical) Code Issues Forum" be more appropriate?

BtW - I've visited several forum sites lately. For most of them it's readily apparent where to find the best forum for NEC topics/questions; but not for this one. It seems that there should be a separate forum titled "NEC Code Issues Forum".
RE: Combined Neutrals
IEEE seems is very appropriate as this is an international forum, as EEJamie stated.

And yet you found it
(I suppose NEC questions could be posted in the NFPA forum, since the NEC is NFPA 70, and has always been primarily a fire prevention standard.)

But the term "NEC" is used much more frequently, especially when a discussion of Code comes up.
I'm just thinking from a keyword/marketing point-of-view; something that catches the eye quicker, for NEC-related topics.
BtW - DPC, how did you insert the "Quote"? I see no option for that (I'm using FireFox).
Thanks

When the last slash / is changed to a square bracket ] you will get the quote box.
You may also use:

You can see all TGML codes by clicking on "Process TGML" link below the answer box. Also make sure that that box is checked.
