I ran 4 new circuits, in an old house, all new wires, new Siemens AFCI breakers. All 4 have been tripping. One Samsung refrig., two countertop outlets, one microwave. In KY, all new circuits must be AFCI. Replaced all 4 new AFCI breakers with new ones. Microwave and ref are working with second new breakers. Now the two kit. countertop ones are tripping AGAIN. I had to surface run the 4 circuits in pvc to a j box, then from there, romex to each separate outlet. I did not share any neutrals, but did use only one ground in the conduit. You think that could be it ?
I mostly work in IN. About to resign my KY license because of AFCI requirements over there. any suggestions ? ? You think I should try AFCI receptacles ? Thank you.
