Correct
They are arc fault breakers. Anything with a motor could trip along with several other electrical items as they're more sensitive then other breakers and are placed in bedrooms for extra protection to sleepers. I had the problem when we first moved in and was told by my electrican that motor powered items should be plugged into power strips including my paper shreader.
