What is ELCB?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
“ Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker”. It is used to provide
protection of household circuit from leakage of current
through circuit to earth. Especially, it protects person who
is supposed to get shock while touching the faulty
appliances. Basically it measures difference in current
between “Live wire” & “Neutral wire”. If difference is 0,
fine. Else ELCB gets tripped. You must have noticed that,
difference won’t be zero iff current would have flown
through any person and felt shocked while touched the faulty
circuit. So, tripping of ELCB protects the person from
electric shock

Answer / abhilash.t.m
Earth leakage circuit breaker. it protects the machine from
if any leakage current flows or short ckt occurs.when any
leakage current flows through elcb it will disconnect the
main circuit breaker.

Answer / shoaib9786
The fullform of ELCB is 'Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker'.
It is used in protection, when current flows through it,
the breaker trips

Answer / ashvin prajapati
ELCB = EARTH LEAKAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER
IN CIRCUIT CURRENT FLOW BETWEEN PHASE AND NEUTRAL MORE THEN
30MA THAT TIME ELCB GET TRIPPED AND PROTECT THE PERSON OR A
MAJOR FAULT OR A BREKDOWN. GENERALLY ITS USE IN DOMECTIC
PURPOSE BUT ALSO USE IN INDUSTRIES ALSO.
ITS AVAILABLE IN SINGLE PHASE AND THREE PHASE

PLZ EXPLIN ABOUT CLASS PS CLASS CT .WHY THEY R DESINED AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE?WHY OTHER CT CANT BE USED AS PS CLASS CT? EXPLAIN IN SIMPLE LAUNGAGE IF POSSIBLE PLZ GIVE CIRCIT DIAGRAM?EMAIL-RAJ_SINGH_0376@SIFY.COM
In a 3 phase system a neutral exists so that any unbalanced currents can flow through it towards earth.... but a phase demands a particular current as per the load attached to it....then where does the extra current come from the goes in the neutral??....I mean in an unbalanced system a phase demands a current as per its load attached....then where does the unbalanced current come from??
What are the various kind of cables used for transmission?
What are the procedures followed for underground cable laying.....???
what is oti and wti
How capacitor connect in 3 phase supply???
