You don't see "Tempo PE2003 Pulser Fault Locator"?All I see is "www.googleadservices.com"
They have been making them for quite a while, first one I saw was probably 20 years ago. Now that I’m out on my own, just ordered one since it’s tax deductible! LOL!Oh.., now that is too cool!

I do not believe that is correctNo I didn't do the wiring and the breakers would immediately trip under the circumstances you suggested. Sometimes a whole month will go by with no tripping
I've had mine for thirty, give or take.They have been making them for quite a while, first one I saw was probably 20 years ago. Now that I’m out on my own, just ordered one since it’s tax deductible! LOL!

You're link didn't work but Synchro posted another link.Use your fault locator. stick Probes to sheetrock. It works just as if you were looking for a ground fault on buried underground. Saves a lot of holes.
In my case the metallic trim of the exterior door and IIRC, the gutters were energized. One lead of transmitter to earth, one to trim. The house was being remodeled at the time, so Yes, probes to sheetrock. Just enough for needle to swing.You're link didn't work but Synchro posted another link.
I have that locator. I usually have to stick a screwdriver or the stake that came with it to ground to. How do you do that on sheetrock? Surely you don't push the probes into the sheetrock either.
I'm wondering if a high quality whole house surge protector would help. All of his neighbors are fairly close and none of them have this issueMultiple devices tripping at same time is likely because of some sort of interference, that may not even be on protected side of device(s).
Maybe you and he could ask a friendly neighbor to allow a temporary breaker swap as an experiment.All of his neighbors are fairly close and none of them have this issue.
like fellon and others have said the vast majority of problems are wiring issues or construction issues, until the suspect inside wiring is ruled out with good test procedures I would not bother speculating further.FIFY.
I am not a fan whatsoever of AFCI's but everyone jumps to nuisance tripping when, IMO, vast majority of problems are wiring issues.
Watched Mike Holt on one of his live videos last year, he put every circuit in his house on dual function breakers and now he has some elaborate system of dots on his panel cover to keep track of what breakers are tripping and what's been swapped with what.
Tell me about it. If my brother in law didn't have me to come troubleshoot he would have been in the thousands of dollars between appliance techs and electrical troubleshooting, plus then time and aggravation trying to sort through it all.That right there would indicate to me that this technology is not ready for prime time. If an electrical professional such as Mike needs this level of tracking to figure out what’s going on, how is a homeowner supposed to be able to deal with it?
How many AFCi issues to you get per month on clean circuits that you / your company installed?I used to have a similar attitude that afci trips were wiring errors, but I have seen too many nuisance trips on clean circuits.
