I was refering to the miniature breaker (the white ones) As i mentioned above, i think i understood the basics of the Box with the Black breakers, my question is about the the DIN Rail. How could you make a two live lines connection if those breakers have a Neutral and one Line only, thanks | |

In a main panel it is going to the “silver long buss” that connects with the ground all the neutrals and ground connect at the same point in a main panel. The same is true for DIN you only need the breaker for the 2 hots the neutral and ground have a common buss | |
| Jul 29, 2022 at 23:01 | comment | added | Emir | But how, if you have the two live lines wires +neutral, how would you make the connection using the rail ones, two breaker? One breaker for line 1,second breaker for line 2, in that how can you distribute that to let's, say a 220 A/C, thanks for your answer | |
