Double Tapped Breaker

2275 Views 3 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  frenchelectrican
hello all,
at a recent home inspection, the inspector noted that a breaker was double tapped and this is not good because it could arc, one wire is for lights and the other is for the doorbell transformer, he mention i could use a 2 pole breaker like the one pictured here, is this true or safe?? what else could i do with the doorbell wire? put it on another seperate appropriate breaker?

Some breakers are made to be doubletapped, orwise just as the handy husband stated and you will be good to go.
