I recently installed some canned lights and an arc fault breaker. When I hooked everything up, put a light bulb in one of the lights and then turned on the breaker the breaker popped. There is a 3 way switch--7 recessed lights and another 3 way switch with the power coming in to the first 3 way. If I disconnect the coiled neutral, from the arc fault breaker, from the neutral bus bar everything is fine. I checked the neutral from the arc fault breaker with a ohm meter (coiled neutral to ground bar) and I get a reading of about 113 volts. The neutral from the switch circuit shows no voltage. I checked the wiring to the arc fault breaker and it was connected correctly. Do I have a short somewher in the wiring. Not sure what to do. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks
