Just installed a “used” Gfci circuit breaker on my panel. New CB’s not made for this older panel. Without a load wire even attached, CB will not hold and instantly trips when power is applied. Pig tail neutral attached to neutral bar. When I disconnect pigtail from neutral bus, CB will hold when power applied. So, what gives? Bad breaker or something else? Thank you for any response.
 
If there is no load wire attached (hot or Neutral) then it is faulty.
