This question has nothing to do with my electric brewery, but want to pose a wiring question to the experts here.
In my garage, I plan to run 3 branch circuits from the subpanel. They are all in a line (by design) just different lengths so I will be running individual conductors in 3/4" conduit. 12-gage wire, one 120V/20A and two 240V/20A circuits for woodworking tools. Using standard breakers, not GFI, so no worry about inducing ground faults. Can I run a single 12-gage ground conductor to the first box, then pigtail to the second and third box? This would save 2 conductors in a crowded conduit. Of course I will bring individual hot and neutral conductors for each circuit.
