Apparently the reasoning 2 separate circuits are not allowed is an unknowing resident might think they have turned off the power to the shed by flipping the panel breaker when in fact one plug in the shed is still hot! Dangerous! Got my answer thx. I'll follow code.

So 2 shut off boxes in two locations for the firemen. I can do that. And little danger with two 12/2 buried lines to a shed? do they have to be buried separately I wonder?

I already have 12/2 buried in conduit to the shed so to late to change wire. My first mistake. If I add a cut off breaker on the shed and keep the air conditioner to small at 5 k btu plus one shed light, I should be ok. Yes? Reaction appreciated. Just curious as to whats the reading behind...

Thx. So what's the no no safety issue running rwo separate 12/2 underground rated wires to a shed. What's the reasoning behind it? If they are 6 ft apart and forever separate wires into a shed, why does code say it's a big no no?

Shed is 15 feet from house 200 amp panel. Want to add a box to shed to feed one light and one small 5K air conditioner. A 20 amp breaker already feeds one outdoor GFI plug nearby, attached to house. Got new 12/2 in conduit and want to pig tail it off that existing 20 amp GFI plug To source...
