If the breakers that popped are the AFCI type (green label) and you are 
south of 466A & north of 42, you might have the faulty breakers 
mentioned in this article:

If you call the electricians who did your original work (mine was 
Galaxy) they should replace them at no charge.  I just arranged to have 
my neighbor's replaced last week.

I set up my wire antenna in the attic. I did as much shielding, bonding, 
and grounding as I could. I pressed the microphone button in order to 
pollute 17M with 100 watts of rabid electrons and every ground fault 
breaker in the electrical panel tripped.
I remember hearing about his problem but I do not recall the the solution.

Thank you,
