Take the tour ×  I have a room upstairs that's the size of a
small studio apartment. My daughter decided to move back home
but my tenant noticed that the room she moved into is tied into
their apartment. I went to the panel box and noticed that there
is a 12/3 wire in place.  My question is can I take the hot wire
going to my kid's room and put it on my panel? Would it be ok
with the ground and neutral still plugged into the other panel?

answer. Move the complete circuit or don't move anything This
can really be a safety concern if one panel is shut down and the
neutral and ground are on a live panel, or vice versa.
share|improve this answer To put it another way, 12/3 should go
to a duplex breaker where both legs always turn off together. –
