    Testing breakers

    Interesting that we dont test mcb's like we do rcd's. To see if they trip as according to their time/current curves. I'm guessing the practicalities of the test gear is why? Anyone else got any suggestions?!

    3phase breaker made of 3 single phase breakers

    Hi guys, Is there a difference between 3 single phase breakers next to each other (with a linking bar) and 1 3 phase breaker? Does the 3 phase breaker have anything special in it or is it just 3 single phase breakers stuck together with a bar in the switches? Cheers, Tim
