While there is a change in the 2008 NEC regarding multi-wire branch circuits (MWBCs), it does not make them illegal. In the 2005 NEC, if the MWBC served a single yoke with multiple devices, then a means of disconnecting both legs simultaneously is required. In the 2008 NEC, this is always required. The practical implication for residential work is that you have use a double pole breaker. Cheers, Wayne |
