"I've had two new homes in The Villages and never had a breaker tripping problem, so disagree that it is normal in new homes"
evidently your homes didn't have the new code breakers.
Fault breakers detect surges or shorts to ground to prevent you from getting shocked. These new sensitive breakers detect surges that put on there circuits. Vacuum sweepers, hair dryers, toasters, Micowaves, ect. pull alot of amps. The surge of amps when the motor fires up or several lights coming on all at once may pull enough amps to trip the new sensitive breakers.... Probably another fine American product made in China, india, Mx, or Bangladesh....
