Aloha all. I work in an electrical outlet warehouse in Hawaii and recently had a customer come in with an inquiry that's new to me. Apparently one of his arc fault breakers is tripping as a result of his neighbors HAM radio tower. I found some info online about it but most of what I found is from a good 8 years ago. Apparently Eaton made some breakers with "HAM" at the end of the product code to fix the issue, but according to a lot of people this didn't totally work. Someone said they found that the BRC115CAFA breakers didn't have the issue. Does anyone know if this issue was ever fully rectified by Eaton, or if there is a legitimate, legal solution that doesn't require extensive work?
Mahalo for any advice
 
There is some info at the webpage below.


At the end of the article linked below they provide the names and phone numbers of specific individuals to contact about this issue, and who are presumably at Eaton. The article is 10 years old, however.
