Michael Petruccelli asks; Electrical terms for homeowners (6)

Michael Petruccelli says;   Double Tapping - adding or "doubling" wires at a fuse or breaker connections for the purpose of increasing the number of circuits available to the electrician system. Most breakers are designed for one wire attachment. Double tapping is not allowed by electrical code and can be a serious safety issue unless such breaker is intentionally designed for multiple wire connections.
