SMART ELCB

What is ELCB

1. An Earth-leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) is a safety device used

in electrical installations with high Earth impedance to prevent
shock. It detects small stray voltages on the metal enclosures of
electrical equipment, and interrupts the circuit if a dangerous
voltage is detected. Once widely used, more recent installations
instead use residual current circuit breakers which instead detect
leakage current directly.
PAIN POINTS IN PRESENT SCENARIO

1. The Elcb which are used currently,there is no provision of

automatic turn on after occurence of fault.
2. But we introduce autorecloser smart Elcb.
3. This Elcb trips when fault is detected and again reclose
automatically when fault is removed.
4. This project will use microcontroller program has to control
autorecloser Elcb.
 INNOVATION AND UNIQUENESS

1. We have designed an ELCB which trips if fault is occured and it measures

the difference between current flowing through phase and neutral.And if it
is less than 30 mA then it turns off and if it is greater than 30 mA then it
trips.
2. The ELCB detects fault currents from live to the Earth (ground) wire
within the installation it protects. If sufficient voltage appears across the
ELCB's sense coil, it will switch off the power, and remain off until
manually reset. A voltage-sensing ELCB does not sense fault currents from
live to any other Earthed body.
MARKET POTENTIAL,COMPITION AND
IMPACT ON SOCIETY.

1. It can provide more safety to human beings and animals from

shock.
2. Elimination of fire hazard and electric shock
3. Used power electronics and mechanical systems are less,hence
less space is utilized
 TARGET CUSTOMER AND COMPITION

1. Low cost
2. More safe and reliable.
3. Very helpful for industries due to Automation.
 BUSINESS MODEL AND POSSIBLE
REVENUE STREAM.

This project is basically based on electronics devices and less mechanically

It is one time investment because in normal ELCB can work up to 5 years. But
due to no mechanical parts in our project it's life is much more than normal
ELCB.
 TECHNICAL AND ECONOMICAL
VIABILITY

1. It uses latest power electronics and mechanical systems hence less

space is utilized.

2. Uninterruptable viability
3. Fault indication to user directly.
CURRENT STAGE AND HIGHLIGHT OF
EFFORTS.

Current stage of 2 pole ELCB.

Current simulation
 ROAD AHEAD AND JOB CRATION
PORENTIAL.

1. It can work as a separate ELCB as well as it can control existing

ELCB.
2. There are number of modifications possible on this idea and it can
be expanded uptown desired level.

 Advantages Of Smart ELCB

 Auto reclosures may be single or three phase type. Mostly single phase auto reclosing breakers are preferred as
most of the transmission faults are single phase to ground faults. Auto reclosures of single pole type improves the
stability of the system as power remains transmitted through the remaining two healthy phases when fault on
one phase occurs.
 The breakers may be rapid auto reclosing type  (about 20 cycles or 0.4 sec) or delayed auto reclosing (5 to 30s)
type. For rapid reclosing type it is not required to check synchronism while reclosing however for delay
reclosing synchronism should be checked before reclosing. For this purposesyncphahronous relays are employed
