I have an application that is used both in the US and worldwide. It is a 230VAC circuit.
For the US I installed a 20A double pole breaker for the L-L 240VAC power in the US.
However, in other parts of the world this is a L-N configuration. Due to other issues with the power we are considering using a transformer to create the same L-N configuration to the equipment.
The question is do I need to change the breaker for the L-N configuration or is it acceptable to have a 2 pole (tied) circuit breaker which will break both the Line and Neutral if either side trips?
