MCB breaker VS Fuse, Difference between Fuse and MCB in Details

FUSE In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, thereby stopping or interrupting the current. It is a sacrificial device; once a fuse … Read more

Why is Neutral Connected to Earth in a Transformer?

Why Transformer Neutral Connected to Earth Distribution systems are earthed to create a reference point for the system voltage, to facilitate the detection and discriminative isolation of faults involving contact to earth, and to limit over-voltages under transient conditions. A neutral earthing system is a system in which the neutral is connected to earth, either … Read more

Electrical Faults and Electrical Faults Causes

Electrical Faults and Electrical Faults Causes Failures which are mechanical in nature are very slow and show some visible signs of their approach.
