It makes logical sense since it appears that one wire from each breaker/color goes up and one goes down. But actually "unknown". | |

| Dec 23, 2020 at 18:12 | comment | added | manassehkatz-Moving 2 Codidact | I mentioned handle-tie with respect to the IMHO extremely unlikely MWBC. For a standard 240V circuit I said (and another answer did too) "double-breaker". | |
| Dec 23, 2020 at 18:09 | comment | added | J... | No handle tie seems to be the big issue here that nobody else has touched - whatever is going to those two breakers doesn't add up. | |
