Answer / greenhat25
When a fault occurs, a current flows in th secondary winding
of th current transformer.
If th current is greater than th setting of th relay, th
electromagnet is energised and attracts th armature.
The action of th armature closes and opens th normally open
and close contacts respectively, thereby closing or opening
th trip circuit.
The shunt trip coil or UV trip coil is energised or
de-energised and th circuit breaker will trip.

In continuation to above answer, there are different
schemes to detect earth fault in the system
1. By using residual connections of three phases CTs
2. By using CBCT
3. By using a neutral CT at transformer neutral point.

Hi Friend I am used multimeter to measure the voltage between R Phase(SS1) to R Phase(SS2). In SS1 is connected with UPS loads. But I am getting voltage between these 2 R Phases. Please give some idea friend
hi, in the event earth grounding is not available in a project, is there any other way to make the elcb work? fyi, i have an instant water heater (6.5kw) installed, however if there is grounding in the heating element inside the heater assembly, i will get grounded. thank you in advance to those who will answer my question.
