    AGCI and AFCI/GFCI breakers with MWBCs...?

    This will be an easy answer for someone (I'm hoping) and I hope the answer doesn't frustrate me. :cautious: Can I use AFCI breakers and AFCI/GFCI breakers on a MWBC with a handle tie? and, if so, where does the neutral go? - Oh, also, this is on a plug-in-neutral panel.
