Should an eaton 20 amp "all-in-one" breaker come with the coiled white "pigtail" they refere to in the installation instructions?

The breaker I puchased did not come with the neutral wire and I cant get a 12ga solid wire to hold in the marked location on the breaker.

If it is Plug On Neutral (PON) panel then a neutral wire is not needed.

    Eaton CHFAFGF120 includes the neutral pigtail.

    Eaton CHFAFGF120PN does not.

SOURCE: fridgeidaire clothes dryer

I will try this again i don't think i posted it properly.
On the power cord where it connectes to the dryer make sure the red and black wire goes to the outside screws (L1& L2) the white goes in the middle and the green goes to the dryer cabinet.
If you have the red or black going to the middle one it will trip the breaker.

SOURCE: Gfi Breaker 2 Pole 20 Amp: installed 20 amp dbl pole breaker to hot tub. Keep...

When Working with Household Electricity you want to always keep in mind that the BLACK wire ALWAYS carries DEATH. What I mean by this is that working with a Single Phase Circuit (one that uses 120VAC) the only wire that should be carrying a voltage is the BLACK one, the other 2 wires (typically the White Neutral and Green Ground) should both be electrically connected to Earth Ground (usually by being attached to your water pipe.)

It is also possible that your hot tub may use more than 20 Amps.

SOURCE: How to replace a Bryant GFCB120 Circuit Breaker

If you have a Bryant load center, you can use other breakers in it, including the Eaton GFCB120 GFI since several companies unified their design. The GFI (ground fault interrupter) or GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter), same thing, may be required for a device you are installing, such as bathroom, kitchen or outdoor fixtures.
The Eaton series includes very clear installation instructions, but if your problem is that they are missing, then all you do is install the breaker in a open slot in the breaker panel, but you have to attach the neutral [white] wire differently. On regular breakers, the neutral goes right to the ground lug in the panel. With a GFI breaker, it goes through the breaker, and then is connected to the ground lug.

Have three 20 amp Eaton Arc Fault Breakers Type BRAF and two have tripped and cannot reset. What is the solution? Do I need to replace?

If you disconnect the load wires on the breaker and it will not reset, the breaker has a fatal flaw.

IF the breaker ONLY fails to reset with the load wires connected EITHER there is a wrong connection like servicing a shared neutral 3 wire cable from the breaker, or there is an electrical fault OR there is interference from a source that couples radio-like noise onto the wires to this.

Is there another breaker i can use instead of challenger breaker less expensive

A Challenger 20 Amp single pole breaker shouldn't be priced much different than any other brand of breaker if you buy them online and not at Home Depot. That is if it isn't the Zinsco style like these:

According to Eaton's cross reference a BR 120 will cross with a C 120. You can find the cross reference here:

Lowes shows the BR 120 at 3.47

They look like these:

Can and arc fault circuit interupter be on a grounded neutral panel

Yes, the (coiled) white wire that is permanently attached to the breaker connects to the neutral busbar in the panel and the white wire that goes to the circuit that you want to protect connects to the "white" terminal on the AFCI breaker.

How to install 25amp 3 pole relay

There should be 8 screws on the relay L1, L2, L3, T1, T2, T3 and two additional screws either at the top or bottom, or one on each side. The incomming, constant power in from the circuit breaker, should connect to L1, L2 & L3. The power out to the load should connect to T1, T2 & T3. The control wire from the switch or timer you will be using to close the contactor will connect to the remaining two screws. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS THAT THE CONTROL VOLTAGE MATCHES THE COIL VOLTAGE OF THE CONTACTOR. They will make 12vac, 12vdc, 24vac, 24vdc, 120v, 240v, 277v, etc. coils for the contactor.
Also keep in mind that when the contactor closes L1 & T1 make contact, L2 & T2, Etc.
