2 pole GFCI breaker

[1793]

I would like to check and see if a 2 pole GFCI breaker would work correctly on a multi-wired kitchen circuit.

Yes, if wired correctly.

GFCI receptacles are way cheaper.

Yes, if wired correctly.

GFCI receptacles are way cheaper.

But you would either have to split the MWBC to separate neutrals at the first pair of GFCI receptacles or use a GFCI receptacle at each and every outlet location.

You would lose use of all receptacles if the breaker tripped, which may or may not be an issue.

Works in my kitchen.

Why wouldn't it?

I just need some confirmation before I delve into a Kitchen where the customer wants to remove backsplash receptacles and install an angled plug strip that will not accept GFCI device.

There is no place to add a dead front/Faceless or GFCI's anywhere else. So GFCI breaker(s) it is. After looking at the panel I noticed that one of the breakers marked Kitchen was 1/2 of a MWBC. I'm not sure where the other half goes, so my question.

I think I know that a 120v GFCI breaker will not correctly so I was thinking that a 240v GFCI should work, just needed to bounce it off others, I work alone so everyone here is it.

Thanks

It will work. Just land the neutral correctly.

Gotcha. Look to be sure they are TR receptacles.

FYI they do make GFCI TR plugmold strips. It is not angled though.
