CH BD1520 Circuit breaker question?
« on: September 04, 2014, 05:12:59 PM »
I have a CH BD2020 breaker that states it's rated for 14-4 wire, does that mean it can have 2 14awg wires under each lug for a total of 4 14awg wires? My apologies if this sounds like a stupid question but I'm just not sure?

For sanity 1 wire per braker, once you start doing multicercuit single breaker you'll all ways wonder which circuit popped the breaker.

and if you have high load devices best to go a guage higher for that circuite to ensure strong healthy voltage and current even witht he 15Amp breaker, gives a higher safety factore too.
