Can a 3 phase 220 volt machine that usually plugs into a line with a twenty amp breaker can a thirty amp breaker be used instead?
No, you should not install a 30 amp circuit breaker to a machine which normally requires a 20 amp supply. The circuit breaker is protecting the wire to the machine. That wire is likely only rated for 20 amps, (# 12 awg). Therefore, a 30 amp breaker could allow too much current to go through the wiring to the machine and cause the wire to burn down. Replace the 3 phase 20 amp breaker with the same amperage breaker.
Is there any disadvantage of selecting over rated circuit breaker?
If i understand you correctly, yes there certainly can be. If you replace, say a 10 amp breaker with a 20 amp. you are losing the safety factor - the whole purpose of the breaker to begin with. Always replace a breaker with the exact same amperage rating!
