is there a different b\w ground fault CB and earth leakage

Answer Posted / s.sundar rajan.

Yes, there is diff. Ground fault means it is a dead short
of the line into the ground terminals and whereas the earth
leakage means it is not short, it is due to leakage b/w
connectors or line to neutral or poor insulation of the
conductor which has leakage current will flow to earth.
