I came across a situation today ...
Double (220v) 25amp breaker but with a wire
only connected to one of the breakers. Now
the wire was 12awg which I know is undersized
for 25 amps, but other than that is this a legal
and safe way to use a double pole breaker?
Secondly, this circuit is powering a swimming
pool pump and I would think that it should be
a GFI breaker (it's not). Is that a requirement?
Thanks,
Stephen
