Interview Questions and Answers
Q-21) What is the Electrical area classification?
Ans: Electrical Area Classification
HV, MV, LV
Class1- Division1: High voltage—greater than 650v
Class1- Division2: Medium Voltage—250v t0 650v
Unclassified Low voltage – less than 250v
Q22- What is the ELCB and RCCB?
Ans:
ELCB- Earth leakage circuit breaker
RCCB- Residual current circuit breaker
ELCB is replaced by RCCB completely
Q23- How ELCB works?
As above earth wire is connected to sensing and tripping block
Phase and neutral are the input and both are also output
As phase connects earth wire due to any reason then current leakage through the earth wire
that is enough to trip activate the tripping block
Then ELCB goes to open and will isolate the source of leakage current
Q24- What is the function of RCCB?
Residual current circuit breaker
Interview Questions and Answers
Works on the principle of core balance current transformer
Core balance current transformant attached across the phase and neutral wire
Load connected to phase and neutral terminal in RCCB
Monitors, how much current is going from phase and how much current returning in neutral
In case of leakage detected by CBCT, that goes through the earth wire
With detected leakage current, relay operating coil trip and isolate the source
Q-25 What is the difference between ELCB and RCCB?

Q-28)
What is the CBT?
Example:
Connecting the CBCT on single phase motor
Supply will pass through core of CBCT (Supply wires are primary winding of CBCT)
If Motor takes 10A current, then 10A current will flow from phase/red wire
If same 10A current flow from neutral the difference will be zero
10A-10A=0A
So, magnetic field of zero Ampere (0A) will be generated
So, no current will flow from secondary coil
Interview Questions and Answers
If earth fault occurs, means unfortunately neutral or phase wire gets cut and touch to body
of Motor
Then some current will flow through the earth wire via body of motor (suppose 3A) and 7A
passing through the neutral wire
10A - 7A= 3A
Magnetic field of 3A will be generated
Current (3A) will flow from secondary of CBCT that will be send to relay (ELR)
Three phase system
In case of 3-phase, no current will from secondary in normal condition
As earth leakage occurs, current will flow from secondary, that sent to relay (ELR) that trips
the breaker

Q-29) What is the earth Fault Relay?
Fault current Knob – to set the limit of fault current on which ELR must trip the breaker (e.g
0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10, 30, 50)
If fault current value to set 1mA then knob should be on 01, 3mA – 0.3, 5mA – 0.5, 1A – 1,
3A – 3, 5A – 5.
Delay Knob – To set delay time after which ELR must operate to trip the breaker
If delay= 0ms then ELR will operate as fault appears as set
If delay=3ms (or more, or greater than zero) then ELR will operate after 3ms or after dealy
