Thsi topic is being discussed in two other threads but here is a different question.
Assume 10 120V circuits each with their own neutral. #12 all in one conduit to a juction box with one ground wire and a ground bus in the junction box. Separate MC from there to the devices, lighting etc.
50% of 25A is 12.5 amps. Does that mean that the branch circuit breaker needs to be less than 12.5 amp? Or just that the connected load can not exceed 12.5 amps?
