Check out the latest issue of EC&M, page 84.

The 2005 NEC contains a slight change to permit "identified" handle
ties, rather than "approved" handle ties.

I think this must be valuable information to someone but I need to
know what a handle tie is to utilize it. Leigh@MarMachine

It's the link that connects the breaker "handles" on a multipole breaker. In
a pinch, single breakers can be tied together to stand in place of a
multipole breaker, but they are not quite the same as having the right
breaker.
