MCB Miniature Circuit Breakers Use Construction Principle

What is MCB? MCB or Miniature Circuit Breakers is a mechanical switching device which is capable of making, carrying and breaking currents under normal circuit conditions and also making, carrying for a specified time and automatically breaking currents under specified abnormal circuit conditions such as those of short circuit. So we can say that MCB… Read More »

ELCB Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker

What is an ELCB? An Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) is a safety device used in electrical installations with high earth impedance to prevent shock. It detects small stray voltages on the metal enclosures of electrical equipment, and interrupts the circuit if a dangerous voltage is detected. Once widely used, more recent installations instead use… Read More »
