Answer / ankita
ELCB means EARTH LEAKAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER and as the name suggests, if there is any earth leakage in circuit, ELCB will detect it and trip the circuit.
The ELCB is designed with milliampere current range, so if leakage current(which is always in some milliamperes) is exceding the limit elcb will imediately trip its circuit.

Answer / john
ELCB simply means earth leakage circuit breaker, just as the name implies earth surface soil leakage excape circuit a Close loop that electron can flow breaker cut off ยงƠ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ when there is excape ☀̤̣̈̇f current from the circuit above the rated current usually in milliampere t♡̬̩̃̊ the earth the breaker will automatically trip(cut off)t♡̬̩̃̊ prevent shock.
