I was caught in a catch 22 in my house. I wanted the detached garage to be on the same smoke loop as the house but this would be a 225.30 violation. I got over it. I now have a circuit in the house off the garage panel that runs the smokes in both places. Since I was violating the code anyway I went ahead and added a receptacle next to the panel in the house so I would have a work light with the house main tripped. It is marked that way and has a red cover.
I am holding my nose and calling it an (E).
