What are the diferences between ELCB and RCCB

Answer Posted / 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

Hi Suppose we have a wye/wye transformer which is grounded at both sides,in this situation, do we have ay ground transformer? in other words, ground transformer can do any thing more (while we have nuetral wire in both sides)? As the last question, what about 3rd harmonic? we have two choices: first using wye/delta transformer + ground transformer and second using wye/wye earthed connection.in the former choice, we dont have 3rd harmoonic at the secondary side but what about Yn/yn conection? do we suffer from 3rd harmonic in the Yn/yn connection?
