This is kind of long, but please help me if you can. Thanks.
We wired a room addition and upgraded the service to 400 amp. The home owner wanted dercora style receptacles, the only problem was he didn't have a ground. So as allowed by code, we put in 1 GFI recep and put the rest of the circuit on the load side. Then labeled all receps "no equipment ground" "GFCI protected". The only problem was the GFI would trip all the time(never when we were there). We figured out that a florescent fixture was on the circuit, so we replaced all recepatcle with their own GFI recep wired line only. This seemed to solve the problem.
Then we got the final inspection and they made us put in arc fault breakers and this circuit was connected to one of the bedrooms. Now the circuit breaker has tripped.
Do you think it's just the arc fault nusaince tripping or is it something else? Does the florescent fixture cause a problem? Would you change the breaker back to a regular one(it was good enough for the first 30 years)?
BTW, we didn't do anything on this cicuit except change devices.
