Triping principle of ELCB&RCCB? wht is the difference
between these two?

Answer / bibhas
ELCB is Earth leakage circuit breaker. It is very sensitive.
Even if there exists a minor leakage current, it will
immediately trip. Whereas RCCB is residual current circuit
breaker. It will trip only above the set trip value

Answer / k.prakashchandra
ELCB requires earth connection. Earth wire is taken through
ELCB to the body of the appliance.If there is any leakage
current in the earth wire ,it will trip.4 pole or 2 pole
RCCB requires neutral.It works on the principle that vector
sum of the currents in phases and neutral is zero or current
balancing.If there is any leakage current to the earth it
will be sensed by only phase and not the neutral resulting
in tripping.3 pole RCCB is for a 3 phase load without neutral.

We have drive feeding an output contactor for a 5000 hp motor @ 5kV application. The motor FLA is 629amps x 1.25% service factor = 786.25 amps The cable that we current have in place between the drive and the output contactor is 350kcmil- MV-105 (parallel cables). Per the NEC table 310.60 (C) (69). This show the cable ampacity is at 615 amps per cable for a rating of 1230 amps. We have derated the cable for the cable tray and the multiple cables application and our calculations show that after the correction factor factor we are at 922amps. 1230 amps x .75% correction factor factor = 922.5 amps. The customer is driving us to then use another safety factor of .25% off of the already derated cable. Can you please provide a longhand calculation for your solution on this application?
