Depending on what he does in the breaker box (he mentioned "separating" the breakers), it could be easy to misunderstand it later on create the fire hazard.

When hooking to the breaker you wrap the white wire with red or black electrical tape. Then hook green wire to ground bar in panel. Easier way to do it is put in a junction box and separate the legs there. Install 2 single pole breakers but use a bonding clip as previously mentioned. Sharing a neutral can be done like that

Those two feed may go to a j-box in the attic or something. the just shall live by faith member FTA, ATA, EAFT 1776 - the year we told a tyrant we weren't to be under a dictator Caveat ater macula

the Blak Spot OP trapper T Joined: Dec 2010 central arkansas	Found what I needed to know. Black/red from breakers go to a j-box in the attic. So should just be able to nullify the red, connect white->white, run the ground and be good to go. the just shall live by faith member FTA, ATA, EAFT 1776 - the year we told a tyrant we weren't to be under a dictator Caveat ater macula
