Why doesn't the WL circuit breaker trip when I push the TEST button at bottom of trip unit?

This is the internal self-test function of the trip unit functions. Test can be done with or without tripping the circuit breaker.

To test without tripping, press “TEST.”

To test with tripping:

1. Press both the “TEST” and “CLEAR” buttons at the same time and hold for at least 10 seconds
2. Release both at the same time
