What is the result if the neutral wire becomes open on a multiwire circuit having
unequal loads? - (answer)The load of higher resistance would overheat and
probably be damaged.
The Code reference that specifies the type of disconnecting means (circuit
breaker for example) that can be used on a multiwire branch circuit that feeds
devices mounted on the same yoke [a stack switch or a duplex receptacle for
example] is ___. - (answer)240.15(B)(1)
Refer to the panel schedule shown in Figure 128.231. If the neutral is removed

A 12/3 cable is installed from a 120/240-V, 1Ø panel and feeds a split-wired
duplex receptacle. One "hot" is connected to a 20A breaker in panel space 1. The
second "hot" is connected to a 20A breaker in space 3. A 16-amp load is
connected to the upper receptacle and a 14-amp load is connected to the lower
receptacle. Which of the following will happen if the neutral is removed from the
receptacle? - (answer)Because a higher voltage will be applied, 120-volt
equipment could be destroyed.
