Breaker Box - Question
I have a circuit breaker box with spaces for 6 circuit breakers.
I only had one breaker in it.
I went to add 2 more breakers to it and one of the breaker I installed would not work.
I was about to declare that one of the 2 new 20A breakers was defective when I discovered that 3 of the spaces require the black wire be connected to the breaker and the other 3 spaces require the white wire connected to these breakers.
It's my understanding that proper electoral wiring demands that you never break the white wire and all switches breakers etc are to be on the black wire only according to code.
Since this breaker box requires the white wire must be broken on three of the breakers does that mean the panel does not comply to code?
