An ELCB is an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker and is a device used for safety purposes to detect stray voltage or current on a metal enclosure in order to prevent shock. The two types of ELCB are Voltage-operated and current-sensing protection. The difference between a 30mA ELCD and a 300mA ELCB is that the 30mA version will have a much higher level of sensitivity, tripping the device is a much lower current.
Voltage-ELCBs were first introduced about sixty years ago and Current-ELCB was first introduced about forty years ago. For many years, the voltage operated ELCB and the differential current operated ELCB were both referred to as ELCBs because it was a simpler name to remember. But the use of a common name for two different devices gave rise to considerable confusion in the electrical industry.
we use to connect elcb using hands. with help of skrewdriver
By simulating a earth leak on the device connected to ELCB. A short between phase and the body or earth point. Care must be taken. It must be done by a trained Electrician only. It is dangerous to do it.
ELCB is the connection to the direct earth path using protective device.while solid earthing is without protective device.A form of ELCB should be installed when direct earth path of low enough impendance can not be obtained.

Take a wire and ground the neutral at the load point. Some current will leak through ground and the same will be sensed by elcb and trip. Other method is simply test a lamp across phase and earth with out using neutral.elcb should trip if it is functioning correctly.
ELCB means Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker -- it is used to trip the Circuit breaker if any leakage fault occured means

Sweet
it came to india from africa
elcb is the daughter of ELR ,mcb is their one onlyn son
Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker(ELCB) was given to a device that breaks the power supply when a fixed amount of current ,say 25-40 milli amperes flow through the earth line. The MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) is a device designed to 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 the its wire
Normally 40 A /65A
a pir sytem dectects heats and movement so basically like an alarm system!

Should be E1cB.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E1cB-elimination_reaction
