I think your expecting the breaker to trip under normal conditions - like extending or retracting the slides. THey aren't meant to be electrical stops under those conditions. They are meant to trip during an abnormal overload.

Maybe the motors have built-in cut-offs? If so, there's nothing I can do about the current setting.
