Any contractors or other knowledgable folks who might know if code allows more than one neutral wire on a single neutral buss bar connection. I know that multiple grounds are allowed, but not sure on the neutral. The application is a residential sub panel. Thanks.

As far as I know it's allowed. I've spent the past few summers doing electrical work and have seen my foremans do it all the time.

I think you can twist the two, then solder the joint- makes it one wire.

I wired my house - but am not an electrician - but would seriously doubt they would allow more than one wire under 1 screw - however you should be able to buy a whole additional bus bar - mount it in the box - and start it out by running one wire from the first neutral bus vbar to teh new second - then you would have all kinds of holes....

David,

I am not sure what you mean. The feed to the sub panel should land on the neutral bar and then the neutral for each feed from the sub panel should land on the neutral bar. Plus the nuetral should be grounded if used residentially.

Hope I helped answer your question.

To clarify, all the connection screws on the neutral and ground buss bars are currently used with one conductor in each. I would like to add one more circuit and need to know if code allows multiple wires in a single neutral buss bar connection. The feed from the main panel is fine.

Sorry, got confused.

In Ontario Canada, I believe it is ok as long as the wires are twisted in a proper wire joint fashion (i.e. pigtail). I wouldn't recomend putting more than 2 per screw though.

(I believe that our hydro code is actually stricter than US code.)

Hope this is the answer you are looking for.
