One of the most common service calls that I have is with Nursery feeding pumps tripping the AFCI This has been an ongoing issue for many of my customers, I have at least two service calls for this issue every month
The funniest AFCI trip I have ever had was gril who had her plug-in Private parts massager tripping the AFCI, This was a simple fix I was able to remove the shorts without any trouble
