General Home Wiring Code Question
In New Construction, I would like more outlets, more "circuits" (more amps for more devices). My thought it to place 2-gang boxes, with (2) 2-outlet modules, at each location. But I would like to use NM-B 4/8 for each box/direct-run, and a single 240v 15a breaker. IMO, this would physically permit having a 15a heater plugged into one outlet, and another 15a plugged into the other module, and either one would trip the breaker, if current on that 120v "side" of the 240v breaker is exceeded. What concerns would this generate IRL if implemented? (logically #1), Obviously not usual; Does *standard* building code permit this variation? !TIA! submitted by /u/Helpful_Berry_6889 [link] [comments]
