Answer / kulvinder singh, nit kurukshet

ELCB is used tirip the breaker when there is any leakage
of live current to the earth point.

RCCB-it detects the electric current is not balanced

conductor.Such an imbalance is also caused if any human
body comes in contact with live conductor.

As we know multiplicity factor derivation equation is as below MF = main c t ratio / main p t ratio * meter c t ratio / meter p t ratio * meter dial constant Where in digital meters for HT kwh import export now a days meter constant are calibrated already which is 1 So my question is For HT 11kv 110 v line values are as below Main c t and p t ratio are 11000 v and 110 v and 20/5 means 20 amp and 5 amp Now meter values are 11000/√3/110√3 and primary and secondary amp are displayed as -/5 amp on kwh meter so what will be the MF for this meter ?
