Answer / sanjay kumar
Earth leakage circuit breaker(ELCB) trips during leakage of
current from ckt. to earth.
Residual current circuit breaker(RCCB) will trip if
algebric sum of current is not be zero.

Answer / kulvinder singh, nit kurukshet
ELCB is used tirip the breaker when there is any leakage
of live current to the earth point.
RCCB-it detects the electric current is not balanced
between the energised conductor and return neutral
conductor.Such an imbalance is also caused if any human
body comes in contact with live conductor.

Answer / anoop k.liz
ELCB- ELCB will be tripped on a leakage of current from phase to earth.
RCCB- MCB+ELCB= RCCB. It will tripped on both fault current or high current and earth leakage current.
