Hi,
I've a GE 120/240V 20A circuit breaker. I know most circuit breakers trip when the rated current is exceeded in the circuit. BUt lets just assume that the current in the circuit is drawing current less than 20A but the voltage rises to 380V. What will happen? Will the breaker trip or the whole circuit will burn down? I've seen breakers trip during lightning strikes, but thats mainly dues to large amount of volts and current.
Thank You.
