Difference between ELCB and RCCB?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / guest
ELCB is basically voltage operated tripping mechanism.When a
voltage exists between the earth and frame the tripping coil
is activated.If the earth connection is bad the tripping coil
will not operate.
RCCB is an improvement of the voltage operated tripping
mechanism.This is current operated. If the leakage current is
of the designed minimum amount the tripping mechanism is
activated.So if the earthing connection to the ground is bad
but the leakage occurred through a person to the ground the
RCCB will still trip.

Answer / omprakash sahu
Elcb is working based on Earth leakage current. But Rccb is
not having sensing or connectivity of Earth, because
fundamentally Phase current is equal to the neutral current
in single phase. That’s why RCCB can trip when the both
currents are deferent and it withstand up to both the
currents are same. Both the neutral and phase currents are
different that means current is flowing through the Earth.
Finally both are working for same, but the thing is
connectivity is difference.

How we calculate the average power factor if the one phase is lag and another one is in lead?
What is the effect on power factor, shown by a trivector meter; incase of reverse phase sequence. If the power factor of a system is lag what meter will show in case of reverse phase sequence connected to the meter. and What in case of lead.
why the single phse machine can not run by the three phase supply.
