Curt:
You are 100% correct. I was using basic calcs to show that without using 430, a question that Harold referenced will arise.

This is a 'usual' discussion item at the counter, or on the phone to homeowners who want to be electricians. You went where I go, after they present their case for having the setup I outlined above.

Sometimes they already have it installed "their way" and have to re-do it.

The EC's get it right 98%.
