Two
Wires connected to Single-Wire Circuit Breakers
More than one wire connected to a single-wire circuit breaker
is an improper wiring practice. This practice can loose
electrical connections that lead to arcing, a source of fire.
Additional circuit breakers should be added to provide for the
additional wires. However, if the panel is full (with no
room to add new circuit breakers), a sub-panel should be
added.
