Difference between ELCB and RCCB?

Answer Posted / 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.

What is the need of earthing transformer for delta side of a transformer. (Think of a line section between a star/delta transformer at a grid substation and delta/star transformer at a village. An earthing transformer is there at the delta side of the star/delta transformer at grid substation). As there are no ground reference there will not be fault current if a one phase is grounded. Further L-L phase will be sensed by the primary side of star/delta transformer as a L-G fault. So why an earthing transformer is required at delta side
