Why Electrical Leak Circuit Breaker (ELCB) Trips?

Understand the reasons behind Electrical Leak Circuit Breaker (ELCB) Trips

There are a few reasons why an LCB might trip. Here are some of the most common reasons:

• Overload: If the current flowing through the circuit exceeds the breaker's rating, the breaker will trip to protect the circuit and the connected equipment from damage.
• Short circuit: If a short circuit occurs in the circuit, the breaker will trip to prevent the spread of the short circuit and the damage that it can cause.
• Arc fault: If an arc fault occurs in the circuit, the breaker will trip to prevent the spread of the arc fault and the damage that it can cause.
• Defective breaker: If the breaker is defective, it may trip for no apparent reason.
• Loose connections: If the connections to the breaker are loose, they can cause the breaker to trip.
• Damaged wiring: If the wiring in the circuit is damaged, it can cause the breaker to trip.

If your LCB trips, it is important to first determine the reason for the trip. Once you have determined the reason, you can take steps to correct the problem and prevent the breaker from tripping again.

Here are some tips for preventing your LCB from tripping:

• Do not overload the circuit: Make sure that the current flowing through the circuit does not exceed the breaker's rating.
• Inspect the wiring regularly: Inspect the wiring in the circuit regularly for signs of damage.
• Replace defective breakers: If you suspect that your breaker is defective, replace it.
• Secure loose connections: Secure any loose connections in the circuit.

By following these tips, you can help to prevent your LCB from tripping and protect your electrical system from damage.

Various types of LCBs are available in the market in 2P and 4P.
