How will a 3 phase rcd work with no neutral?
a traditional rcd wont work as it uses the difference between the incoming active and neutral to detect current loss it has to read 0. In particular, an RCD alone will not detect overload conditions, phase to neutral short circuits or phase to short circuits. Over-current protection must be provided.
What difference in current amperage makes an RCD trip?
RCD stands - Residual Current Device. Normally It measures current on phase & neutral and if there is any change or difference (Should be Phase I - Neutral I = Zero) even 30mAmps RCD trips to break the circuit to avaoid any damages to equipments as well as human beings. Its same as ELECB / RCCB.
What is the purpose of a residual current device?
The purpose of a residual current device (RCD) is to compare the currents in live and neutral wires. These should be the same. If they are not, then current must be flowing to earth- perhaps through someone touching an exposed wire. The RCD senses the difference and switches off the current before any harm can be done.
Why is an Residual current device better than a wire fuse?
- Using an RCD is better than a fuse because it requires no replacement sacrificial metal strip. Also, more reliable and reacts more quickly to cut the circuit (can detect quickly since it is a more sensitive device).
Does RCD works on DC system?
No, Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are designed to work on AC systems only. They are used to protect against electric shock by monitoring the current balance between the live and neutral conductors. In a DC system, different protection measures are necessary since the current flows continuously in one direction.

How does ground fault circuit interrupter act like a small circuit breaker?
A ground fault circuit interrupter or rcd trips when the is leakage current to ground In no fault condition the active and neutral conductor emf's cancel each other out in ground fault condition the emf's become unbalanced resulting in a small voltage being inducted into a toroidal coil which activates a internal trip relay resulting in disconnection of supply domestic rcd's are generaly set to trip at 30ma to ground

What is the major difference between ACB and MCCB?
MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker)CharacteristicsRated current not more than 100 A.Trip characteristics normally not adjustable.Thermal or thermal-magnetic operation.MCCB (Moulded Case Circuit Breaker)CharacteristicsRated current up to 1000 A.Trip current may be adjustable.Thermal or thermal-magnetic operation.RCCB(Residual Current Circuit Breaker)CharacteristicsPhase (line) and Neutral both wires connected through RCD.It trips the circuit when there is earth fault current.The amount of current flows through the phase (line) should return through neutral .It detects by RCD. any mismatch between two currents flowing through phase and neutral detect by -RCD and trip the circuit within 30Miliseconed.If a house has an earth system connected to an earth rod and not the main incoming cable, then it must have all circuits protected by an RCD (because u mite not be able to get enough fault current to trip a MCB)RCDs are an extremely effective form of shock protectionThe most widely used are 30 mA (milliamp) and 100 mA devices. A current flow of 30 mA (or 0.03 amps) is sufficiently small that it makes it very difficult to receive a dangerous shock. Even 100 mA is a relatively small figure when compared to the current that may flow in an earth fault without such protection (hundred of amps)A 300/500 mA RCCB may be used where only fire protection is required. eg., on lighting circuits, where the risk of electric shock is small.
What is the difference between basic protection and fault protection?
· Basic protection is insulation, barriers, enclosures, placing out of reach and SELV/FELV/PELV. Fault protection is use of RCD's, earthing etc.
