Ordinary ground fault interrupters do that. Some of them are sensitive
to RF, too.
Arc fault interrupters, in addition, are supposed to detect arcing,
which can start a fire. That's a good thing. Unfortunately, they also
seem to be very good at detecting RF.

Isn't the main purpose to prevent getting shocked, particularly where there

I have had GFI outlets and breakers for years and never a problem with
tripping, when they weren't supposed to trip. And I run full power at times
from 10-160M. Once a year I use the GFI tester to check that they are all
working.

One has to wonder, for all the trouble these things have caused, how many
fires they've actually prevented.

Howard,
Would you know the and model of these breakers? Maybe some models are more
susceptable than others.
Thanks

Most of the supplied breakers appear to be Eaton. The ones added in the
attic are, I think, Leviton.
