I'm putting in a new bathroom vent (Nutone, 1.0 A, 1 sone), and the attached diagram seems to show the use of 12/3 without a ground for the light/nite lite portion (black, red, white). I guess options may be: Opt 1 - use 12/3 with ground and pull the ground wire out (not gonna happen for a whole host of reasons). Opt 2 - run individual wires.. These diagrams are used to help troubleshoot electrical problems, as well as to show how to properly wire an electrical system. How Does a 12 3 Wiring Diagram Work? A 12 3 wiring diagram is made up of various symbols that represent the components of the electrical system. The symbols are placed in a specific way that indicates the flow of.
The sparky wired it with 12-2-2 does not cost that much more then 12-3 just last month it was the same price as 12-3 at HD. For those wondering 12-2-2 is a black, white, red, white with red stripe and bare ground. I am not an electrician and if Bill or any one wants to correct me that is fine, But when you wire it with 12-3 ( shared neutral) it.. One multiwire branch circuit with 20 amp breakers (and 12 gauge wire) satisfies this requirement. The same wiring method, three 12 gauge circuit conductors, (equipment grounding conductor,) 20 amp breaker set, and all, may be used as a 120/240 volt circuit for some appliances such as certain air conditioners.
