arc fault breaker trouble
I have a circuit that worked just fine until I installed an arc fault circuit breaker. I have tested the breaker and it is OK. At this point I only have one junction box and one plugin on the line. My circuit breaker does not trip when I plug an appliance into the outlet but it does trip as soon as I turn on the appliance. I have tried a radio, a lamp, etc. and the arc fault breaker only trips when I actually turn on the appliance.

NEMA has a website for reporting AFCI problems.
I suspect they are building a database.
