I'm planning the circuit for a new basement bathroom. I have a 20 amp circuit dedicated to just this bathroom. I have a 4-gang box with switches for a vanity light, shower light, exhaust fan and light built into the exhaust fan. My understanding is that the shower light needs to be GFCI-protected and the others should not be so as to not lose all lights if the GFCI trips.
Power (via 12/2) comes into the box holding the GFCI. I'd like to run two sets of 12/2 from that box to the 4-gang with the switches. One 12/2 would come from the load side of the GFCI and connect to the shower light switch. The other 12/2 would come from the line side of the GFCI and connect to the other 3 switches. Is this acceptable? The box is properly sized for this number of connectors.
Within the 4-gang box I'll tie together all non-GFCI-protected neutrals. I'll also tie together the neutral coming from the load side of the GFCI and the neutral going to the shower light. Am I correct to keep the 2 sets of neutrals separate?
All the grounds in both boxes will be tied together.
