Hi... I'd appreciate any help on this....

While leaving a sprinkler room, and shutting off a light switch by the door the breaker for the heat trace blows, activating the local alarm on the FA panel in the hotel. For a minute, I thought it may be coincidence, but it's happened twice. Someone suggested that it could be static that trips a sensitive breaker???

The light switch is in an steel 1110 box with a metal taylor cover, that switches an florescent light. It is connected to pull box, connected to the panel and the heat trace boxes. Without the time to open boxes to try and search for the problem, what would cause the breaker to trip ???
