Is this doubled

[Greg Fretwell]

The only problem with overloading a breaker is the nuisance tripping. It would be a poor design to try to serve to many outlets but the user can overload any circuit with 2 receptacles on it simply by plugging in 2 space heaters or hair dryers.

The closest thing to a limitation in the NEC is when they say you have to allow 3va per square foot for general lighting load and that load shall be evenly divided across the required circuits.

It is my understanding that the term "double tap" refers to the improper insertion of 2 conductors under a terminal that is only listed for a single conductor. If you have 2 conductors under a terminal that is listed for 2 conductors, it is not a double tap.

Jeff Pope said that once on this board...so it must be true!!!
