The AFCI breakers in my new house get trigger happy whenever the humidity climbs above 60% outside. Unfortunately, I live in the mid-south, so this happens a lot. Is it possible that they're detecting a genuine "could start a fire" problem? What's the risk in putting GFCI breakers in instead?I don't know that I don't have a staple in my Romex anywhere, but this happens on multiple circuits with multiple appliances. Recently I got 1.5 inches of rain, and I came home to find every AFCI in the panel tripped. As such, either there are workmanship errors in the entire house (I've been in the switch panels, they all look neat), or there's an issue on the service side.I know it's not an overload fault, I measured.
Swap them out. I've heard nothing but people bitching about those stupid arc fault circuit breakers.
AFCIs trip if someone sneezes in the house.They always nuisance trip and the general process is that shit gets swapped out for regular breakers after inspection passes.
