Arc Fault nuisance tripping

Marc,

That's not an AFCI. It's an LCDI.

Are you sure of that?

440.65 Leakage Current Detection and Interruption (LCDI) and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)
Single-phase cord-and-plug-connected room air conditioners shall be provided with factory-installed LCDI or AFCI protection. The LCDI or AFCI protection shall be an integral part of the attachment plug or be located in the power supply cord within 300 mm (12 in.) of the attachment plug.

Marc,

No. I just havn't seen any yet that weren't LCDI's.

It says AFCI on the cord.

Meanwhile, any thoughts? I just checked all the connections and everything seems OK; the same thing happens when the receptacle is out of the box and the wires are all separated. Am I missing something obvious?
