breakers 3 phase

[N6rul]

Hello guys!!! Have a little confusion here??? When selecting a mcb for 3 phase. Whennit states 60 amps is that 20 amp per phase or 60 amp per phase??
Thanks

60 per phase

 

[Spoon]

60A per phase

 

[Darkwood]

It depends on the wording but in general 3ph 60amp supply would be 60amps per phase.

 

[Farmelectrics]

Yes 60a per phase

Some of the questions asked here at times really scare me, as to what's going on out there in the so-called real world!!

Sometimes we have a brain freeze and cant think about anything... It happens to us all..

If it's 60amp/phase that makes 180amp...................do I then need to put a 200amp breaker in before the 60amp one?

...........................joke :tt1:

Hi,

Reminds me of when I purchased some 15KVA 3 Phase 1:1 Transformers. I was looking at 15KVA/Phase, but when I received them I got 15KVA spread across the 3 Phases. People look at things differently. Life is all about learning!

Regards.

Thanks guys. Yes it is scary sometimes. When you get a brain freeze. But a forum like this can always help with refreshing or debating the right way to do something when its a grey area inbthe BS7671. Again thank you guys.
