Answer / omar aziz
ELCB= Earth Leakage circuit breaker
RCCB= Residual current circuit breaker
elcb looks for current flowing in the earh wire and is it
does not equate to the phase current , earth leakage is
detected an the CB trips.
rccb looks for the residual current ,by adding the phasor
current . upon any imbalance the CB trips on residual earth
fault.

Answer / velusamy
The ELCB works on the principle that the total amount of
current flowing thro the phase is returned thro neutral. if
not so , elcb trip the circuit.
For RCCB, i agree with ans 1 & 3

Answer / karthik
RCCB: detects current imbalance.but does not provide over
current protection.
ELCB: detects earth current directly rather than detecting
imbalance.

Answer / vinodh.t
ELCB= Earth Leakage circuit breaker
RCCB= Residual current circuit breaker
both are same..the objective of elcb is continuous
monitoring of insulation levels of electrical installation
and equipments and also detect any leakage current flow to
earth

wht do u mean by load in circuit.wht dp u mean by inductive load
why HT armoured cable does not glanding
why are we adopting 132kv,220kv for transmission rather than using 440kv at all transmission lines as it gives lower losses?
what size steel armoured cable is required to support 1500kva capacity. would 70mm squared be enough or would I need 90 or 120mm squared 3c plus earth
Why not implimenting power factor in Diesel generator
What is state space method ? Why its used ? Can it applicable on linear, non-linear, 1st order, higher order, homogeneous, non-homogeneous, open-loop , closed loops , stable & unstable systems ?
WHAT IS THE CONDITION FOR OPERATING DIFFERENTIAL RELAY IN POWER TRANSFORMER & WHERE IS NEUTRAL CT PLACED IN TRANSFORMER
