When a single breaker trips constantly even after eliminating the load issue, when it won't reset, or when it makes audible buzzing. Multiple breakers tripping = panel-level issue, not a one-breaker fix.
Related questions
Why do AFCI breakers nuisance-trip?
Older appliance motors, fluorescent ballasts, and shared neutrals confuse early AFCI breakers. Newer dual-function breakers handle this better. If you're replacing one anyway, upgrade.
