• The molded cases for MCCB are required to have strength which can withstand the gas pressure at breaking,
heat resistance and arc resistance.
• For early MCCB, inexpensive phenol resins were used in many cases.
• For recent small-sized compact MCCB, polyester resins containing glass fibers and polyamide resins are used.

Note:
• Distribution Box can be decided by “way” means how many how many single phase (single pole) distribution circuit
and Neutral are used.
• Normally single phase distribution is mainly used for small single phase loads at house wiring or industrial lighting
wiring.

ELCB -Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker
The ELCB is used to protect the circuit from the electrical leakage.
2 types :
Voltage operated ELCB:
• This detects a rise in potential between the protected
interconnected network and a distant isolated earth reference
electrode
• No longer installed in new constructions.
Current operated ELCB (RCCB / RCD)
• This directly detects current leaking to earth from an installation
& cut the power
• ELCB is the old name and often refers to voltage operated devices
that are no longer available
• RCCB or RCD is the new name that specifies current operated
ELCB
