what is difference between mccb,mcb,elcb,pccb

Answer Posted / shvetang dave

MCB means miniature circuit breaker--It is thermal &
magnetic trip device operating upto 100 A. It's range is
fixed not selectable.

MCCB means Moulded Case Circuit Breaker---It is operated
upto 1000 A and High voltage MCCB also operates on 1200 A
also...And it's range is selectable..

ELCB means Earth Leakage Circuit breaker---It is operated
on leakage current only..It is not operated on short
circuit or overload current.

RCCB means Residual Current Circuti Breaker---it's Working
principle is same as ELCb..It is also operated on Leakage
current..Main differance between it and ELCB is that it is
also operated on Short circuit current
