I am installing new circuits and therefore new breakers in the box. After opening up my breaker box, I see (at least I think I see) that the grounding wires and the neutral wires are sharing the same bar. Is this possible? Is this bad? Will it stop me from passing my final electrical inspection? Do I have to have a separate grounding bar and neutral bar?
Thanks. |

also, is it possible to attach two 3-wire circuits to one slim-line breaker? |

multiple wires on a breaker does not meet code. |

You can get a double breaker that will fill one slot with two seperate circuits. That meets code and is perfectly safe.
Don't EVER double tap a breaker. |
