What difference between MCB,MCCB,RCCB,ELCB please explain briefly with its rating.

Answer Posted / karthik.j

MCB means Miniature Circuit Breaker -- it is used for upto
100Amps in the motor feeders.

MCCB menas Moulded case Circuit Breaker -- it is used for
25oAmps to 800Amps in the motor feeders.

ELCB means Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker -- it is used to
trip the Circuit breaker if any leakage fault occured means.

RCCB means Residual Current Circuit Breaker -- A residual
current device (RCD), or residual current
circuit breaker (RCCB), is an electrical wiring device that
disconnects a circuit whenever it detects that the electric
current is not balanced between the phase ("hot") conductor
and the neutral conductor. Such an imbalance is sometimes
caused by current leakage through the body of a person who
is grounded and accidentally touching the energized part of
the circuit.

This is reqd for a 1MW Solar power plant..We have 2DC outputs from the solar panels Connected to 2INVERTOR panels.. Output from invertor is 3ph,280v,500kva,50hz.These are connected to individual ACB.This has to be stepped up to 11KV ,1250KVA SYSTEM.Now can I use (1) one more ACBTO GIVE A COMBINED OUTPUT OF 1000KVA,280V & STEP UP THE OUTPUT BY USING a single two winding 3 ph transformer 11kv/1250kva. or (2)use the two outputs and connect to one three winding transformer of above rating..Pls suggestwith details.
