Imagine you have an electrical circuit in your house that powers various appliances and devices. Now, an RCCB is like a superhero gadget that protects you from electrical dangers. It's a special type of switch that can detect and respond to even the tiniest electrical imbalances or faults.
The primary purpose of an RCCB is to safeguard against electrical shock and fires caused by faults in the electrical system. It does this by monitoring the flow of electricity through the circuit. Here's how it works:
When the electricity enters your house, it flows through the RCCB. Inside the RCCB, there are two sensing coils that act as "watchdogs." These coils continuously measure the current flowing through the circuit. Normally, the current flowing into the circuit through the live wire should be the same as the current returning through the neutral wire.
However, if there's an imbalance in the current due to a fault, like a person accidentally touching a live wire or water entering an electrical device, the RCCB immediately springs into action. It detects the difference in current between the live and neutral wires and recognizes it as a potential danger.
As soon as the RCCB senses this imbalance, it swiftly trips or cuts off the flow of electricity to prevent any harm. By doing this, it protects you from receiving an electric shock or stops the fault from escalating into a fire hazard.
Now, let's talk about the types of RCCBs. There are mainly four types of RCCB available in the market
1 TYPE AC
2 TYPE A
3 TYPE F
4 TYPE B
To sum it up, an RCCB is a protective device that keeps you safe from electrical shocks and potential fire hazards by monitoring and responding to electrical imbalances or faults in a circuit. It acts as a guardian, swiftly cutting off the electricity supply when it detects any danger.
