    A 4-pole circuit breaker provides protection for three phases and the neutral line, while a 3-pole circuit breaker only protects the three phases. A 4-pole circuit breaker switches the neutral along with the phases according to standards, while a 3-pole circuit breaker does not switch the neutral since it has a separate neutral bus. A 4-pole circuit breaker has an integrated current transformer to easily sense ground faults on all poles, whereas a 3-pole circuit breaker requires an external neutral current transformer that is prone to failure if not connected properly. A 4-pole circuit breaker is suited for a 3-phase 4-wire system and a 3-pole circuit breaker is recommended for a 3

    4Pole Circuit Breaker vs 3Pole Circuit

    Breaker
    • In 4P CB, the protection is available for 3Phases & Neutral
    Prote • In 3P CB, the protection is available only for 3Phases
    ction

    • In 4P CB, neutral also switched along with phases as per the requirements of IEC-60947-1
    Switc • In 3P CB, neutral is not switched as generally separate neutral bus is connected directly
    hing

    • In 4P CB, the sensing CT is integral to the breaker for all 4 poles, making it easy to sense the ground fault
    Grou • In 3P CB, separate external neutral CT needs to be provided for sensing ground fault. This is prone to failure if not
