Product Line:
QO, QOB and Homeline Arc Fault (CAFI) and Dual Function (DF) circuit breakers.  White and Purple test buttons.

Resolution:
NOTE: Read all cautions and warnings in the literature and on the product.  Electrical work and troubleshooting should be done by an authorized person.
Should a connected load be causing a fault the CAFI breaker will trip to protect the circuit and not perform the TSD.
For clear TSD results loads should be removed from the circuit.
