i just replaced a AFCI with a CAFI 15 amp QO breaker that was tripping every few days and sometimes a week.i will see what happens to that. the funny thing is that the house has 2 non-working afci breakers, and when i tried the CAFI on another room it tripped a second after i turned i on. maybe that's why they put bad afci breakers in the first place. what's my next step?
