New construction, Circuit energized by AFCI breaker,
as soon as anything is plugged into a receptacle the breaker trips.
Tried changing the breaker, same results. Insalled regular breaker,everthing works fine
Whats wrong here ??
If the neutral was touching the bare ground anywhere, the breaker would trip immediately.
I could be wrong but I believe that class A GFCI's must contain the components that seek out N-G faults (even with no load) that is why those trip immediately when you have such a fault. Without that component, there has to be enough current flowing to cause enough imbalance in the GF sensor to trip it, OP has no such current/not enough current until they plug things in.A GFCI breaker or receptacle may contain an active ground to neutral continuity tester.
But does the GFP in an AFCI breaker with GFP also have that feature?
