TPN means a 4 Pole device with 4th Pole as Neutral. In TPN opening & closing will open & close the Neutral. Follow This Blog by Email
For TPN, protection applies to the current flows through only 3 poles (Three Phase) only; there is no protection for
the current flow through the neutral pole. Neutral is just an isolating pole.
TP MCB is used in 3phase 4wire system. It is denoted as TP+N which will mean a three pole device with external

For the 4 pole breakers, protection applies to current flow through all poles. However when breaker trips or
manually opened, all poles are disconnected.
Same type of difference also applies for SPN and DP.

Where to Use TP, TPN and 4P in Distribution panel:
For any Distribution board, the protection system (MCB) must be used in the incomer. For a three phase BUY ELECTRICAL NOTES IN PDF
distribution panel either TP or TPN or 4P can be used as the incoming protection.
TP MCB: It is most commonly used type in all ordinary three phase supply.
TPN MCB: It is generally used where there are dual sources of incomer to the panel (utility source and emergency
generator source).
4P MCB: It is used where is the possibility of high neutral current (due to unbalance loads and /or 3rd and multiple
of 3rd harmonics current etc) and Neutral / Earth Protection is provided on Neutral.

Multiple Incoming Power System:

When we have a transformer or a stand-by generator feeding to a bus, it is mandatory that at least either of the
Incomers or the bus coupler must be TPN or 4-Pole Breaker please refers IS 3043.
In multi incomer power feeding systems, we cannot mix up the neutrals of incoming powers to other Power Source
so we can use TPN or 4P breakers or MCB instead of TP MCB to isolate the Neutral of other power sources from
the Neutral of incomer power in use.
We can use 4 Pole ACB instead of TP for safety reasons .If there is power failure and DG sets are in running BUY ELECTRICAL NOTE IN PDF
condition to feed the loads, if there is some unbalance in loads(which is practically unavoidable in L.V. distribution
system ), depending of quantum of unbalance, there will be flow of current through Neutral. During this time, if
Power Supply Utility Technicians are working, and if they touch the neutral conductors(which is earthed at their
point ) they will likely to get electric shock depending on the potential rise in common neutral due flow of current
through Neutral conductor as stated above. Even fatal accident may occur due the above reason. As such, it is a
mandatory practice to isolate the two Neutrals.
We can use 4-pole breakers or TPN Breakers when the system has two alternative sources and, in the event of
power failure from the mains, change-over to the standby generator is done. In such a case, it is a good practice to BUY ELECTRICAL SOFTWARES.
isolate the neutral also.
4 pole circuit breakers have advantages in the case when one of the poles of the device will get damage, and it
also provides isolation from neutral voltage.
Normally, Neutral is not allowed to break in any conditions, (except special applications) for human & equipment
safety. So for single incomer power fed systems, 3P breaker is used, where only phases are isolated during
breaking operations.
Where We have dual Power like in DG & other electricity supply sources ,it is required to isolate neutral, where

Normally in 3phase with neutral we just use 3pole CB and Neutral is connected on common Neutral Link but if
application of 3pole will affect the operation of protective relay then we must use 4pole CB.
System evaluation has to be required to decide whether three-pole circuit breakers plus neutral link can be used or
four-pole breakers are required.

I could not find where the outgoing circuits need not to so. Could you help. Thanks

Dear Jagnesh
We are executing a multi-billion industrial project where it is insisted to use 4 pole breaker through out the
installation. (Incomers & Outgoings)
Local regulation call for the use TT & TN-S combined system. TN-S Utility Supply Neutral through cable armour,
while incoming power feed is 33KV-Primary substation. We think TT & TN-S shall not apply since utility supply is
33KV not 380/400/415 or 433V 3 Ph.
We understand the use of 4 Pole Breaker in the following situations.
1. Electrical Power input of TXR & Generator OR TXR & TXR to common LV MDB with auto- changeover through
4 ACBs to isolate the neutral of two power sources.
2. Parallel Supply Systems with Restricted earth fault protection, as summarized by you.
3. Where 3rd Harmonic presence is established resulting in current in the neutral.
What if we use Harmonic Filters to neutralize Harmonics?
4.Hazardous (inflammable/explosive) material areas where spark on Neutral is dangerous.
Do you have any document BS or NEC or NFPA or IEE which categorically state/ guide usage of 4 Pole Breakers
in the electrical power disruption system.
Earliest response shall be appreciated.
Hemant Arora.

I have applied 63A TPN MCB for machine & 5 Hp pressure pump. Machine is rated 32A & pressure pump is 16A.
Total: 48 Amps & my TPN MCB is 63A. Is it ok or should I get it changed. ?

Hello Jignesh,
Is there a typo in your above notes. I think item 3: (TN-S) should have TPN or 4pole and item 4 (TN-C) should
have TP as we cannot breaker neutral in TN-C.
