How ElCB tripping if Neutral touch with ground
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / umesh
elcb is connected in series with the netral & ground,
whenever the neutral touch to the ground then the circuit
will completed, the ELCB will be trip.

Answer / anil bhatia
The design of ELCB is such way that all current passes
from phase to neutral to complete the path . Any current
passes from phase or neutral to ground sense the circiut
that there is deflection of current and trips it to stop
supply.

Answer / k.prakashchandra
I think only RCCB requires the neutral wire connection and
earth wire connection is for ELCB.If there is any leakage in
neutral wire ,the ELCB trips if neutral comes in contact
with the earth wire.

Answer / 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.

It is being often experienced that due to single phasing fault of any source transmission line of any closed loop synchronized circuit all the power transformers with primary stared trips but the power transformer with primary delta wont, why ?
What conditions are required for a transformer to operate at low frequencies ?

if vcb make contact but output notreach give the reason?
length of 4 core cable 95mm from substation LV VFD panel to Motor at field approximately 150 meter. Motor stop and power has been isolated from LV MCC ( Substation )to disconnect Motor for services. After Motor completed service propose to reinstall and reconnect Motor Cable, found earth cable sparkling during touching at metal / motor body. Inspect by clamp meter found earth cable have current flow AC 1-2amps and all earth cable at MCC LV also have current flow as same value. why it is happen?
Current Capacity of 55sqmm & 80sqmm conductor
how we can find of current direction(supply comming/out going direction) when a transmission line passing through sides.
