Triping principle of ELCB&RCCB? wht is the difference
between these two?

Answer Posted / k.prakashchandra

ELCB requires earth connection. Earth wire is taken through
ELCB to the body of the appliance.If there is any leakage
current in the earth wire ,it will trip.4 pole or 2 pole
RCCB requires neutral.It works on the principle that vector
sum of the currents in phases and neutral is zero or current
balancing.If there is any leakage current to the earth it
will be sensed by only phase and not the neutral resulting
in tripping.3 pole RCCB is for a 3 phase load without neutral.

Is a contactor (or master relay) required between incoming lines and a VFD? The question goes to safety. If a contactor were used before the VFD and an e-stop engaged then the motor will coast to a stop (i.e. VFD loses power) instead of stopping much faster if the VFD braking fucntion were used. It would make more sense to keep power on the VFD.

why do motors burn out? I understand why adding parallel loads to a power source means more current moves through the circuit, and can destroy circuit elements by overheating. What about when you have a vaccuum cleaner intake flush against a floor, a room fan sitting directly against a wall, or a power drill trying to drill through something too hard?
