I know that “double” lugging is not Okay but I have never been told that this is a problem so I guess it is Okay.

Unless the terminal is rated for multiple conductors it is not OK.

You’ve got to be kidding…

You’ve got triple taps on the main SE that need to be separated onto their own breakers.

That is not okay.

There, you’ve been told.:smiley:

I was only joking. The previous homeowner had added a separate panel to install an A/C and just tapped into the main breaker to power it. He then added another panel for a storage building and again tapped into the main breaker. I guess he ran out of things to add or who knows what it would look like.
