I recently replaced my breaker box and to comply with the latest electrical code, I had to install a bunch of arc fault breakers. All is well, except one circuit. I have an X10 switch in one electrical box that can be actuated either directly or remotely, making it function like a 3 way switch. A second electrical box holds a regular switch (for a separate light) and the remote X10 actuator switch. I can turn on the light with the remote actuator switch with no issue if the other switch is off, but if the switch is on and I use the remote actuator switch, it trips the arc fault breaker. Both are on the same circuit. Prior to the arc fault breaker installation, all was good.
Some Googling turned up no answer, so I'm tossing it out to the EEs here who might have more insight.
