Gents,
I know that I will have nuisance tripping if I share a neutral with 2 circuits on AFCI breakers. My question is, if I have 2 circuits sharing a neutral, would I be able to put one of them on an AFCI breaker, and plug in a Portable AFCI surge protector (http://www.true-safe.com/prod-afci-portable.html) into the other? We have those pre-made, internally wired office cubicles and at each set of plugs, they have circuits 1 & 2 which share a neutral and 3, which is isolated. I am trying to avoid, if possible, pulling new circuits over to this area and adding surface mounted plugs, like my Facilities Director is asking for....Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you
