I do not have a tower at the moment. I have a hustler 5 btv that was on my roof but now it is ground mounted. For some reason when I get on 40 it trips one of my arc fault breakers. I replaced the troubled breaker with the same results. I am a master electrician and saw this with one of my GFI outlets but when I changed it the problem stopped. This has not and I do not want to put a regular breaker in its place as it would not be safe. Any Ideas?

##  You could also stack two corcoms, nose to tail.  Like the other fellow mentioned, they may have leakage,due to caps, if a pi filter used. 
You could also try type 31 ferrite...and wind the hot + neutral  over the ferrite. Im sure k9yc will chine in on this. It’s the only way I can stop
from tripping my 5 x motion detector lights from going off.
