You'd think it would occur to the sparky that did this that twisting the neutrals together just makes working on those circuits that much more difficult!

Too bad it didn't occur to that same "sparky" that he's violating 408.41 of the 2005 NEC (408.21 2002) when he installs more than one conductor in that individual terminal.

There are two different size terminals and the larger one may be Rated by the Manufacture to accept more than one wire. (Two)

* but do not know of any Manufacturer that allows Three.

( Read The Manufactures Label.)

Regardless what it is rated for with equipment grounds, it is ALWAYS and ONLY rated for ONE neutral in each terminal.
