what is the difference in MCB, MCCB, RCCB, ELCB, & MPCB
(motor protection circuit bracker)

Answer Posted / rajesh achuthan nair kumaramka

mcb Miniature circutebraker will protect a circuit's wiring
from the serious damage which
would be caused if it has to carry a current which is too
high for the diameter of its wires. Such a current could
easily heat up the wires so much that their insulation
melts. If that situation were allowed to develop further it
would soon cause the wires in a cable to short out and to
burn so hot that they could easily cause braker is for
protect over load
An Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker was the first name given
to what is now called a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) . The original type of ELCB or GFCI was designed
only to detect a current flowing in the safety "ground"
or "earth" wire.
rccb (recidential current circute braker function is same

how does the terminal voltage of transmission lines increase when a capacitor is connected???? This happens not only in transmission lines but also in all circuits. How??? When a capacitor is connected in a transmission line, capacitor also takes energy from the same supply. But how is it able to increase the terminal voltage??? Practically What sequence of events happen during increase in voltage???
