Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB)
RCCB stands for Residual Current Circuit Breaker. This residual current device is basically an electrical wiring device that disconnects the circuit whenever there is leakage of current flow through the Human body or the current is not balanced between the phase conductor. It is the safest device to detect and trip against electrical leakage currents, thus ensure protection against electric shock caused by direct contacts. RCCB is generally used in series with an MCB which protects them from over current and short circuit current. Both phase and neutral wires are connected through a RCCB device. These are an extremely effective form of shock protection & widely used for protection from a leakage current.
