Two circuits to One duplex outlet.

Is this possible? If yes do you run two neutrals, one for each prong?



That was my question this is just filler to meet the 100 characters

Either: a MWBC with one neutral, or two circuits with separate neutrals.

In both cases, you need to use a 2p breaker.

Dr. Fine is correct. That's why the tabs break off on both sides .

The use of MWBC feeding both sides of a single duplex is pretty common in Canada.

A 2 pole breaker is not required for either of those applications. A 2 pole breaker is permitted, but so is two single pole breakers with handle ties.

MWBC has known issue with certain brands AFCI, how well does using 2 circuits and breaking off both sides work with AFCI? Any experience?

Not an issue if you use a DP AFCI

Ge using 2 sp AFCI with handle ties. Only one breaker gets the neutral connected from the load and it works.

The issues should be the same as with GFCI. The thing that annoys AFCI in this situation is essentially the same as GFCI only with higher current thresholds.

Agreed.
