    Arc fault breaker wiring
    Can I power two arc fault protected circuits through one 14-3 feeder? I intend to install two arc fault breakers in the panel and route the power to two bedrooms through a single run of 14-3 cable.

    No AFCI breakers will only work with two wire, plus ground circuits. They cannot be used with shared neutrals.
