Answer / ankita
ELCB means EARTH LEAKAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER and as the name suggests, if there is any earth leakage in circuit, ELCB will detect it and trip the circuit.
The ELCB is designed with milliampere current range, so if leakage current(which is always in some milliamperes) is exceding the limit elcb will imediately trip its circuit.

An Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) is a safety device used in electrical installations with high earth impedance to prevent shock. It detects small stray voltages on the metal enclosures of electrical equipment, and interrupts the circuit if a dangerous voltage is detected

ELCB simply means earth leakage circuit breaker, just as the name implies earth surface soil leakage excape circuit a Close loop that electron can flow breaker cut off ยงƠ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ when there is excape ☀̤̣̈̇f current from the circuit above the rated current usually in milliampere t♡̬̩̃̊ the earth the breaker will automatically trip(cut off)t♡̬̩̃̊ prevent shock.

3 phase induction motor connection star or delta while using ac drive motor is .75 to 5.5 kw
what is transient earth voltage
Rotor is taken away from three phase induction motor and three phase supply is given to the stator.What will happen?
why dimmerstate always connected in star connection? what will happen if it connected in delta?
In power point wiring,often,we use less size of earth wire compared to phase & neutral wire and we use big size pin in pug top. how is it justified? can we use small size cable for earthing?
