This antenna effect causes them to trip. Look on your breaker box to see who is your electrical contractor. We had 5 breakers changed last week (Gilchrist).
I called warranty dept Monday afternoon and explained issue of tripping breakers. They said they would call appropriate electrician. Two hours later electrician called and scheduled service call. He just left after replacing all AFCI breakers with the new generation breaker. Could not have asked for better service and response.
