Default Breakers
Had the problem with the 20 amp breakers. Seams that the new type are very sensitive to wires heating up. While hot the resistance in the wires drops and the breaker senses this and trips. The ceiling lights in the kitchen get very hot and heat up the adjoining wires.


The solution is to replace them with a previous generation. They replaced mine but I need to upgrade them once the new generation is fixed because of the new code.
