I'm a little confused here...the inspectors in my area test these AFCI breakers with a tester that is suppose to be an AFCI tester and will not sign off on the job unless they trip with the hand held tester. So if all they have to do is push the test button on the breaker, how come they are not testing them this way???

Don't inspectors receive info on test procedures for AFCI breakers...from IAEI or UL???

Thanx for the feedback guys.
