I retired from a very large electric utility. I can tell you that the tripping of a breaker can happen due to ham operation. In fact it happened to me in the villages in my own home. When checking out the breakers first, I realized that the villages put in the cheapest breakers they could find. I replaced all the breakers with new ones and the problem was solved. Yes, it does cost quite a bit to do that. However fighting with a person with a ham set. Will only create more problems. Not the best fix in the world but given the junk in your electric box you may want to do it anyway. Just my thoughts.
