How ElCB tripping if Neutral touch with ground

Answer Posted / thiyagarajan

How does ELCB WORKS?

If we are using a ELCB:
In fault condition or if the circuit is in open condition, current passes through the neutral.
We are connecting the ELCB from neutral to ground.
The fault or open circuit current in the neutral passes to ground and the equipment get protected from the severe shock.
