Magnetic tripping

I seem to remember seeing someone post something about large spikes of power tripping the breaker magnetically, not thermally...does anyone know more about this? And if so, since we are allowed unlimited permanent magnets, could a few magnets be strategically placed around the breaker to alleviate the problem?
