Having an issue today where a new 20a circuit with 8 outlets and 2 of the Topaz recess canless lights I just put in a new finished basement is tripping only when I turn on the lights with something else plugged in. Lights work fine alone or with my battery charger plugged in.
20 amp dual function GE breaker. Carpenter had a 10 amp air compressor running and as soon as I turn the light switch on, boom breaker trips. No issues with the compressor and a dehumidifier on together when lights are off. Go through your normal troubleshooting issues, long story short disconnect everything except my first outlet and run a temporary wire to see if I can isolate the problem. Ran 2 separate switch legs to the 2 lights (drop ceiling no damage to the wire, 1 has metal rx connector other has plastic push button connector) and try each individually with the compressor turned on and same thing. Swap it with another 20 amp DF that I bought at the same time and same thing happens only on this circuit. Swap it with a 15 amp DF breaker I bought today and everything works without issue.
Just wondering if anyone else has come across this. Am I wrong to think that I have 2 bad breakers? I'll be bringing new DF and a regular AFCI to swap out and try tomorrow.
