Little Froggie: Thanks for the compliments (As opposed to “Complement/s”/). The answer is, (For whatever it’s worth to you.) Yes. You can do it. But it’s not advisable. Because if you are having a load (Running an appliance. Even an alarm clock) on the other, –unprotected — side, the GFI breaker will not trip when you have a ground fault, or leakage current. In practical terms, all of the above is irrelevant because today we have 2-pole GFI breakers. My experience is from the “Olden Days”.(Circa 1977).
