AFCI ckt breaker

[dav5y]

Hi ALL,

If I install two, single pole AFCI ckt breakers can I share the neutral on those branch ckt's ????? Thanks for your help.

Not if you use 2 single pole AFCI breakers. Single pole AFCI breakers do not function on multiwire branch circuits due to the fact that they incorporate GFPE protection as part of the AFCI function.

No, but some companies make a two pole breaker designed for that purpose.
