This is a relatively new problem. So what is new to the area? Maybe it is a ham radio in a truck?
I read and posted #55 that Eaton CFGI breakers have a problem with ham radios. And this video:
demonstrates that at 17 meters the eaton breakers trip. When a ham radio broadcasts they send a signal of a certain length. It's analogous to a channel. 17 meters or channel 17 trips the breakers. The other meters or channels do not.
I just learned that you can have a ham radio in a truck. I thought it was just CB's inside trucks. So that would explain why new folks might be having trouble that never had trouble before. Or the problem comes and goes.
It's just a theory. I don't know how you could stop the ham radios in trucks. And I don't know very much about ham radio or circuit breakers. It's just what I'm learning from poking around on the net.
