Can neutrals be tied together on different circuits?

It causes many problems, including the way it fails silently and destructively if 1 of the 2 wires has a loose connection, forcing 2 wires worth of current onto the other wire.

Multiwire & Split-Wired Electrical Circuit Wiring

In plain English, a "multiwire branch circuit" or "split-wired receptacles" means that two hot wires are sharing a neutral wire. Our photo (above-left) illustrates how a shared neutral circuit can be easily
