  3. Rule R618

R618      *Use PDP/PDH terminals as designed. Only 1 wire shall be connected to each terminal on the PDP/PDH.

If multi-point distribution of circuit power is needed (e.g. to provide power to multiple PCMs and/or VRMs from 1 20A circuit), then all incoming wires may be appropriately spliced into the main lead (e.g. using an insulated terminal block, crimped splice or soldered wire splice), and the single main lead inserted into the terminal to power the circuit.
