In-Depth Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 This is from a 2006 condo conversion. There are 2 double tapped breakers in the panel in the unit. The panel is a Siemens, the breakers are 20 amp Siemens Type QP L-5538, serving 2-12 ga wires. I'm thinking no, this breaker is not designed to accept two wires. I'm just doubting myself because the panels were professionally installed, and a city electrical inspector signed off on the install(not that either of these mean anything!). I can't find any pertinent info on the Siemens website or doing a google search. Maybe I'm just overtired and overthinking this... Thanks, Jim Click to Enlarge 61.74 KB Click to Enlarge 49.27 KB
Jim Katen Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 No. Those breakers are not listed to accept more than a single wire. If they were, they'd be labeled for it. - Jim Katen, Oregon
