Default Re: Double-lugged Square D breakers

If it is just one indication in a more complex investigation that is fine but there are plenty of HIs that say "double tapped breaker" with no other justification for calling it out. Bearing in mind there is no load restrictions on a general lighting circuit in a dwelling the only real question is if it is a general lighting load on a "dedicated" circuit.

Another comment on Greg's picture, I would have noted that the white wire on the adjacent double pole breaker should have been marked with tape to signify that it is an ungrounded conductor and not a neutral.
