As always, a simple task turns into something far more complicated ....
I am trying to move and rewire a four outlet box. The box is served by two 15 amp breakers and a three wire line (Black, Red, White and ground). Why they did this is beyond me but it is what it is.
I want to separate the outlets and have a dedicated line to each breaker. Most of it is fairly simple and straightforward, wire the hot line into the breaker and combine the neutral/ground line into the metal bracket as is done with the rest of the lines.
The picture below is of my circuit panel and it appears that each neutral and ground wire is connected together in the metal strip just to the right of the bank of breakers. There are lots of open slots (or what ever they are called) do I just use an open one or is there some mysterious logic behind which slot to use?
I would rather do this right than wake up with a priest above me giving me last rights (If I wake up).
Thanks for any assistance you can give.
