If more than 1 Eaton breaker trips in the same panel doesn't it seem likely that they were made in the same place at the same time? same lot and box
And if all Eaton AFCI breakers were defective and susceptible to nuisance tripping, wouldn't they all be tripping?
It's just some houses. I think that's the common denominator. If there is a check-up, I would look up the houses that were wired by Pike and compare the dates the breakers were installed. The supply company has records when breakers were bought. They must be purchased by the hundreds, don't you think?
Than again I don't know if other brands are also tripping. I also have Eaton breakers, Pike was the electrician and no tripping so far.
