IMO these conductors are in parallel others have different opinions and would say this is a British 'ring circuit'. [Linked Image]

The grounded conductors are in parallel all the time in this circuit.

If both switches are closed the ungrounded conductors are in parallel.

IMO this violates 310.4 Conductors in parallel, these conductors are certainly not 1/0 or larger, but it is a source of discussion for sure. [Linked Image]
