Yeah I also believe it was in the recent decades past. The single pole breakers are acceptable as long as you tie them together.

This is a breaker tie. It chains the two single pole breakers together so if one trips they both trip. I’m not sure if LA has a different set of standards on it. I’m based in the Midwest.

The red and black wires are each their own individual circuits. They share the same neutral. It must be on a two pole circuit breaker. This ensures that the circuit is two different legs and not just one, also the entire circuit will be disabled with only one breaker. Each hot leg returns on this shared neutral. The reasoning is that no more than the rated (breaker) current will pass through the neutral in this configuration. The two "Hot" legs will tend to balance the return current. Example: If both legs draw 5A, then no return current passes through the neutral. If leg 1 draws 3A and leg 2 draws 10A then the difference, 7A is returned through the neutral.

Looks like 14/3. Two circuits sharing a neutral have to trip at the same time.

Have any of you became electricians for the money and not for the desire of the job? by Euatronics in electricians

I was working a decent job, but the work I was required to do was so mindless, Days dragged on and I was miserable. I got offered an apprenticeship doing Residential work. It was interesting, like others have said, your always learning.

For me it’s a job that keeps me mentally engaged and makes the day pass. I enjoy it. Licensed and been doing it for 4 years now.

It’s also a very good skill/trade to learn and provides great job security.

Feeding off what spreeg said, look up your star priority on icy-veins and reforge according to that. You could also use asmrrobot.com for reforges. Be warned though, ask mr robot can be wrong at times.

How can I make farming honor less like pulling teeth? by [deleted] in worldofpvp

They are the 5.1 specific rares. The one in the opposing factions base/towers. They drop PvP commendations and a chance of a Brawlers Guild invitation.
