Eaton Arc Fault/GFCI combo breakers do not trip when tested with a GFI tester downstream, causing confusion and wasted time diagnosing the issue.
Standard outlet testers require a ground path to trip GFCI breakers, but they don't work reliably with combo Arc Fault/GFCI breakers, leading to false negatives and unnecessary troubleshooting.
