[AT] OT circuit breaker question

[k7jdj at aol.com]

Good information about splices in a panel box.  Looks to be OK as long as it is not a pass through.

I think Don might be all set... we exchanged some private email on this
subject a couple days ago.  Regarding your suggestion Dean, that is
possible, but, the breaker must be rated to accept two wires.  I'll try to
attach a photo of such a breaker but the format is .PNG, not sure if
Spencer accepts this format.   I found the photo at this link:
