Breaker Capacity Level Fro 380Volts Instead Of 220V

Is the breaker rated to disconnect at 380V?

Actually Maximunm rating of GE MCB breakers,Plug in type is 3P,240Volts only available@10KA,So if i use this breaker for 380 volts,what will happen?It will reduce short circuit level or Breaker Insulation level.I hope you will that things

The contacts may melt when it breaks. Or an arc may be formed that causes it not to break when needed.

It's too risky, so don't do it.

If the breaker is not rated to interrupt the applied voltage in any application you run the grave risk of burning everything to the ground.

You now have a serious problem for yourself though. It looks like you've used an English phonetic version of your real name or somebody's real name. All of your questions involve circuit breakers. Wherever there is a Mohamed Hajah working as an electrician, you've left a trail that implies electrical incompetence. If any panel burns a place to the ground that was ever serviced by Mohamed Hajah well a quick Google search will not be good.

You don't have rights to talk about me.If you know the answer give as a manner otherwise leave it .Try to behave as a professional way ok

That was a very bad response.

I think Red responded in a very professional manor.

I've just looked through your previous posts, based on the questions asked, incompetence does spring to mind.

Bear in mind any work you undertake you are responsible for. Any faults in the installation could lead to injury or death. Your call!

Single-pole MCBs rated at 220V can be used in 3-pole, 3-phase formation for 380V. Not 2-pole.

Why don't you buy a new, 3-pole MCB from GE or anyone else?

Do not even think about short-circuit capacity, RRRV, de-ion grids, arc chutes, hammer-trip solenoid, current-limiting design...so on. Leave it to the experts.

My panel board voltage schedule rating is 380/220V,MCB breakers 1P,2P,3P available at Max.240Volts.I already checked the market for ge,eletra,legrand MCB max.voltage rating is 240Volts.I need to use the 3Pole MCB plug in type breaker.In mitshubshi i found out the breaker rating,they mentioned like this AC 220/380V@3KA AC 220V@10KA,

I think I might have understood your problem! If I misunderstand, and explain some things you already know, please forgive me. Please note that reply #8 is a good one.

1. An MCB is closed by hand. It opens automatically only due to an overcurrent.
2. Those commonly used on domestic switchboards do not have any "voltage dependent" coils. This is in contrast with a relay or motor contactor - for which a 240V device may not work reliably over the range of a supply labeled as 220V [because their operating coils are connected in parallel with the supply].
3. So if an MCB is rated for 415/240V 3 phase, obviously a 3 pole device would have to break 415 V for a phase to phase fault - but note 415V is broken by two poles in series, a single pole is only rated for 240V. A two pole breaker of the type could be suitable for two phases, say for feeding a 415 to 110V single phase transformer (but might not be rated for a 415V supply earthed on one pole!). There would be no problem breaking the rated 415V breaking current at 380V/220V 3 phase (or any lower voltage).
4. It is worth noting that 50Hz and 60 Hz ratings will not be the same, even when a device is rated for both frequencies.
5. Some MCB ranges can be fitted with a shunt trip coil, which allows them to be tripped by a separate device e.g. over or under-voltage to extend their use. In that case, the rated voltage of the shunt coil must match its power supply.
6. You refer to a Mitsubishi breaker rating of 3kA or 10 kA. In this case, I think it would mean that two(three) poles could open two(three) phases of a 380/220V supply with a 3 kA short circuit, increased to 10 kA when used to switch live + neutral of a single phase 220V supply simultaneously.
7. It is usual practice to write phase to phase voltage before the phase to earth voltage e.g. 400/230V. I do not know why Mitsubishi gave it as 220/380.
   

My first encounter with this kind of problem was as a schoolboy, wishing to make a 1 valve (tube) radio set. Being determined not to damage a valve, which cost a month's pocket money, by incorrect use; I walked to every electrical shop I could find looking for a "1.4 volt" battery (which was the standard and correct description of "filament voltage" for the valve, in the plans I had!). I was getting tired and dismayed with the difficulty, after several shops and miles, when a knowledgeable man explained that 1.4 volts was the average working value and an ordinary "1.5 volt" torch battery was a correct voltage supply! After that I learned that "finding out how things really did what they were made to do" helped to understand what a rating meant.

It's not that difficult to find out the answer to your question, and like some of the other responders I too wonder at the level of competence that lead to it being asked on a forum such as this one.

What on earth is so difficult about consulting the manufacturer's data sheet?

The breaker that you are proposing to use will presumably be from GE's G100-series of Redline breakers.

A quick Google for 'GE Redline Catalogue' leads you straight to http://www.gepowercontrols.com/ex/resources/literature_library/catalogs/residential.html

Download the catalogue, or if internet bandwidth is tight, just the MCB section.

There, on pages A4 and A5, is a table that gives you all of the data that you will need to decide if the circuit breaker in question is up to the job.

The G100-series is good for 415V, meaning that it is rated for use in a phase-to-phase circuit off a 3-phase 240V/415V supply.
