Good morning! So, it isn't the actual breaker. The problem occured after making the switch. So, seems clear it is in the circuit. But, to eliminate further, could this be related to the ground, which is only connected to the house plumbing and there is no ground rod ? Thank you in advance for...

Thanks! This is something I can definitely do. Will try it in the a.m. and report back. Update from earlier today is the breaker now will not stay on at all!

And, btw, if it matters, they are AFCI breakers that are tripping?

So why would the shower being turned on cause it to trip?

I am sorry. Dont understand your response

Wandering through possibilities is my specialty! I have lived here for two years and there has been no change in the water lines. All galvanized that I can seein the basement. However, I dont know about any changes from the house to the street. Nor do I know if there is a ground rod, but will...

It is. And I wondered if that was a factor. It is grounded to the main incoming waterline. Is the shower causing the pipe to vibrate and disconnect temporarily at times? Or some other electricity voodoo I don't begin to understand?
