definitely a question for the pro's here.
In the process of moving some circuits from the main panel breaks to the generator transfer switch breakers, i discovered a 14/3 wire in the panel. the black wire was connected to one breaker. the red wire was connected to another breaker. white and ground were connected to the bus.
1) is this code legal? it looks like original construction wire so i would assume that it was inspected back in 1968, so if it's not compliant for new construction it's probably grandfathered
unless....
2) is it safe? I've already labeled the breakers for "common neutral" so i'll know to shut down both breakers if i want to work on either circuit. beyond that, i really can't think of any other risk.
am i missing anything that i need to be concerned about?
