Earth leakage circuit breaker(ELCB) trips during leakage of
current from ckt. to earth.
Residual current circuit breaker(RCCB) will trip if
algebric sum of current is not be zero.

Answer / kulvinder singh, nit kurukshet
ELCB is used tirip the breaker when there is any leakage
of live current to the earth point.
RCCB-it detects the electric current is not balanced
between the energised conductor and return neutral
conductor.Such an imbalance is also caused if any human
body comes in contact with live conductor.

Answer / anoop k.liz
ELCB- ELCB will be tripped on a leakage of current from phase to earth.
RCCB- MCB+ELCB= RCCB. It will tripped on both fault current or high current and earth leakage current.

An 11kv system consisting of an underground cable to a sub station about 300 meters away was shut down for about 10 hrs. On energising, it tripped off on earth fault about 10---20 mins later 6 times but since than it is not tripping.its already 3 weeks now. The SPAJ was found to be fine. what could be the cause.No test had been done to determine the cause of the trippings till now because of demand.
