Second, the NEC does not specifically address the installation of outlet-branch-circuit-type or outlet-circuit-type AFCIs on a multiwire branch circuit.

First, the installation is a multiwire branch circuit, and the NEC will require the two single-pole circuit breakers to be installed with an identified handle tie to facilitate simultaneous disconnection as Section 240.15(B)(2) requires. Based on your question, I assume the installation is in a dwelling unit on a single-phase, 120/240-volt (V) system. Multiwire branch circuits and outlet-type AFCIsĬan I wire arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets from two single-pole, 15-ampere (A) breakers with a shared neutral by wiring the receptacles beyond the shared neutral? My inspector is asking for documentation that the AFCI outlets can be used this way. Questions can be sent to Answers are based on the 2014 NEC.
