Background
Two protective devices get confused because both live in a modern panel and both trip. They do unrelated jobs. A GFCI protects people: it compares current going out against current coming back and cuts power when the difference suggests electricity is finding a path to ground, which is why it belongs anywhere water and a body can meet. An AFCI protects the building: it listens for the electrical signature of an arc, the intermittent sputtering fault that a breaker sized for overload will happily ignore while it heats the wood around it. One prevents electrocution, the other prevents fire, and a house needs both in different rooms.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a GFCI and an AFCI?
A GFCI protects people from shock by detecting current leaking to ground. An AFCI protects the building from fire by detecting the signature of an arcing fault, which an ordinary breaker will not catch. They are not interchangeable and the code calls for each in different locations.
