Hi, I was inspecting a service panel the other day and noticed a couple of the 240V appliances were being powered by 2 individual 20-40A breakers instead of just one 40A 240V breaker.
So basically you could switch one breaker off if you wanted.
I tried switching one breaker off thinking that I'd might get only 120V from the appliance outlet but I was wrong! It still came out as 240V.
This was very confusing to me, could somebody explain why it did that?
Also, is this panel up to code??
