Can I use the three phase circuit breaker in a single phase power supply?
Circuit breakers aren’t about no. If you want to connect 3 pole circuit breaker in single phase, you need to connect live wire in one pole and neutral wire in either of the empty poles.
Can you connect 3phase to single phase?
Yes. You can run single phase equipment on three phase power.
How do you test a 4 pole RCD?
Just plug a pair of leads in the 4mm sockets, one lead with a croc. Clip on the earth and the other with a probe on one of the RCD outgoing lines and carry out your tests as normal. If there is no neutral at a four pole RCD input, I don’t think the test button will work, but the tester should still trip the RCD.
How does 4 pole RCD work?
Answer: A 4-pole RCD will function correctly when connected into a 3-phase system without neutral. The residual current measurement and protection functionality does not rely on the presence of a neutral. The test button function simulates an earth leakage internally through a resistor.
Does RCD work without neutral?
A RCD will still function without a neutral connection, however the test button may not operate. Some RCDs have the trip test circuit connected between phases while others are between phase and neutral. Your supplier will be able to supply the correct resistor for the RCD to be installed.
What is the difference between 3 pole and 4 pole breaker?
3 pole MCCB signifies for the connection of three wires for three phase system (R-Y-B Phase). Application: Three Phase Supply only (Without Neutral). 4 Pole MCB: 4pole MCCB for 4 wires connections, the one additional 4th pole for neutral wire connection so that between neutral and any of the other three will supply.

What is the maximum trip time for an RCD?
What is the maximum allowable tripping time? A common misconception is that RCDs must trip in 30 ms. In fact, an RCD when tested at its rated sensitivity must trip in 300 ms. When tested at five times, ie, 150 mA for a 30 mA device, it should trip in 40 ms.
