Is the rating plug in it? It will work without a rating plug, but will trip at 20-30% of the breakers rating if I remember correctly. Supply houses are bad to sell them without the rating plug installed.
There are no rating plug
You thing this is the problem

That is your problem. They use a standard frame, and the rating plug sets the ocp. It will set without one, but will trip over a certain percentage of the breaker max rating. The plug is ordered separate from the breaker. Just snaps in.
Thank you so much that was the problem it is ok k ow I call order the plug and every thing is ok
