Answer / avd

It depends on circuit breaker. If sensing eliment is
installed inside the CB or outside the CB. Like MCCB with
maganetic trip latch will operate. Same way MCB will also
operate as it has short ckt and O/L sensing eliment. But
large circuit breakers have relays outside.

i am confused about generator. i have generator of 380 KVA that is 304 KW by that formula KW=KVA*0.8... then by this formula I=KW/V*1.732*0.8 the amperes are 528.673. so that is the load which i put on one phase of generator or this is total 3 phase load on Generator.......
