Sure, if it happens when the fan comes on. If it doesn't trip when the fan is on then it can't be the fan.Breaker does not trip when I turn the fan on. Could the bath fan cause the arc fault to trip occassionally?
Ask if it happens when the use the vacuum. I found on four differant houses with the same vacuum "Kenmore Progressive Bagless" it will trip the arc fault. It will run in the upright position until you drop the handle wich engages the beater bar then it will trip the arc fault. You plug it into a non arc fault circuit and no problem. I have contacted Kenmore about this with no response. Just a thought!
Maybe you have a neut to grnd problem have you tried to load the circuit?

I have had this happen to me in 2 different homes. Different brand of vaccums and cutler hammer arc faults
I did the samething. Turned on all the lights and fan. 7.2 amps of load. Kept everything on for 2 hours or so. I replaced the breaker with a new 15 amp siemens combination arc fault. So, I guess we'll see what happens?
Strip lighting in the master bathroom (9 lamps at 60 watts each, 1 exhaust fan, 1, 2x4 Florescent in walk in closet 3 lamps, 5, 65 watt lamps in recessed cans. Put amp clamp on by breaker an d read aprox. 7.2 amps.
Brand New Treadmill with a 2hp motor trips a Cutler Hammer AFCI breaker everytime it is started. Tried switching circuits, but same result. Will be consulting CH...
