PHL - FLT 993 - AIRCRAFT DEPARTED PHL WITH THE LEFT PACK ON MEL DUE TO A LEFT PACK TRIP OFF LIGHT THAT WOULD NOT RESET.  ON CLIMB-OUT OF PHL, AIRCRAFT WOULD NOT PRESSURIZE.

MAINTENANCE PRESSURIZED AIRCRAFT ON GROUND WITH APU AND RIGHT PACK TO 6 PSI DIFFERENTIAL.  CHECKS GOOD WITH NO EXTERNAL LEAKS.  CLEARED LEFT PACK MEL BY RUNNING LEFT PACK ON GROUND FOR ONE HOUR.  PRESSURIZED AIRCRAFT ON GROUND.  OPERATIONAL CHECK OF LEFT PACK GOOD.  (X)
