An earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) is a safety device that prevents electric shock and fire by quickly shutting off power when it detects a leakage current to the ground. It works by monitoring the current balance between the live and neutral wires; if a difference is detected that exceeds a safe limit, the ELCB trips to cut off the power. This device is different from a standard circuit breaker as it protects against earth faults, not overloads or short circuits, and is often used in conjunction with a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) for full protection
