can you give main difference between ELCB And RCCB?

Answer Posted / muhammed siraj khan

RCCB:residual current circuit breaker (RCCB)
It measures the difference in current between live
and neutral conductors of a system.In normal conditions it
is equal,If not than it indicates that some faulty current
is flowing other than live and neutral and result in
tripping the device/circuit
simple.
ELCB:
Detects faulty currents passing from live to the earth wire.
ELCB Will not work properly if the earthing is impropoer
Note: For tripping the ELCB,all equipment body should be
earthed.

As we use capacitor bank in 3ph ckt to improve PF, can we use capacitor in single ph domestric use, in house we have Fan,Mixer,electric cooker,iron,tube choke they also lag the system,because it is inductive load. if it is possible to improve PF of single ph system-- if yes- type of capacitor to be used,connection diagram, working in detail. if no-- list it.

I'm generating a pulse of 3V with frequency 80Hz (12.5ms time period) and pulse duration 0.125ms and feeding it to a transformer since i want the pulse to get amplified around 60V. At the output amplification s happening but the pulse is changed to a spike, can you tell me what could be the reason? (an ordinary transformer 220V-12V stepdown transformer is reverse connected ie. now it is 12V-220V stepup and voltage amplification happens)
