Best Answer

An Earth Relay Circuit Brearker(ERCB is a circuit breaker that senses an earth leak within the system and responds by cutting the power to the appliance or section or giving an alarm pending on the complexity of the system.

Most of them can be set to a certain sensitivity, for homes it will be normally 30 mA fixed earth leakage current with an instantanous cut out.

For industrial and commercial application the setting can vary pending on the protection needed.

What is used in an electrical circuit to prevent a short current?

A Fuse or a circuit breaker can be used to protect an electric circuit from over loads. A surge arrestor / over voltage relay can be provided for voltage protection An ELCB/ Earth fault Relay may be provided for earth fault protection. Electrix Chennai, India.


Why does the 59n relay keep tripping the breaker?

The 59 relay is an overvoltage relay. The 59N relay is an overvoltage relay for the neutral circuit. Check neutral and make sure the system is properly balanced.

What is difference between isolation transformer and earth protection relay?

An isolation transformer is a mutual transformer having a voltage ratio of 1:1, so that the secondary circuit is electrically isolated from the primary circuit, yet subject to the same voltage.An earth protection relay is a category of protective relay that responds to an earth fault monitored by a current transformer (CT). In the event of an earth fault being detected by the CT, the relay with activate the trip circuit to a circuit breaker which will then disconnect the fault.

What is function of damping relay in circuit breaker?

The anti-pumping relay is a device in circuit-breaker whose function is to prevent multiple breaker closures. For instance, if the operator gives the closing command to the breaker by pressing the close button and the breaker closes. However, a fault in the system causes the breaker to trip. Since the close command is still in the pressed condition, there is a chance of the breaker closing again and being tripped by the relay multiple times. This can damage the closing mechanism of the breaker. The anti-pumping relay prevents this by ensuring that the breaker closes only once for one close command from the control panel.
