Date:

Aim:

To connect and test the working of MCB and ELCB.

MCB:

There are two mechanisms of miniature circuit breaker.

1. Thermal effect of over current
2. Electromagnetic effect of over current.

 The themal operation of miniature circuit breaker is achieved with a bimetallic strip whenever
continuous over current flows through MCB, the bimetallic strip is heated and deflects by
bending.
 This deflection of bimetallic strip releases mechanical latch. As this mechanical latch is attached
with operating mechanism, it causes to open the miniature circuit breaker contacts.
 During short circuit condition, sudden rising of electric current, causes electromechanical
displacement of plunger associated with tripping coil or solenoid of MCB.
 The plunger strikes the trip lever causing immediate release of latch mechanism consequently
open the circuit breaker contacts,
 The miniature circuit breakers are available from 0.5 Amps to 100 Amps.
 These can be single polo, double poles or three poles, up to fault levels of 10 kA. For higher
ratings miniature case circuit breakers (MCCB) with fault level with standing capacitating of 50
kA are used.
 The breaker is switched on by a toggle type switch.
 The breaker cannot be held closed under fault conditions.
 The housing is made of insulating material. All parts are onclosed in the housing except in the
terminals.
 All phases are disconnected even when a fault occurs on only one of the phases.

EARTH LEAKAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER (ELCB)

An Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) is a device used to directly detect currents leaking to
earth from an installation and cut the power.

An earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) is a safety device to prevent electric shock. Detects
small stray voltages on the metal enclosures of electrical equipment, and interrupts the circuit if a
dangerous voltage is detected.

Theory:

A servomotor is a rotary actuator that allows for precise speed or position contral in both
directions. It consists of a motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback, through a reduction gearbox.
It also requires a relatively sophisticated controller, often a dedicated module designed specifically for
use with servomotors, Servomotors are used in applications such as robotics, CNC machinery or
automated manufacturing.
The circuit is designed to give control signals to the servo. The given circuit is an Astable
multivibrator which can give pulses for the operation of servo. The high and low time of pulses are
determined by the values of VR1, Vr2, R, and C,. The control voltage obtained from its output will
control the position of the servo motor connected to the output. When the control voltage changes, the
servO will move to the new position corresponding to new control voltage value. 0 volt causes the servo
to remain at one end and 10 volts to the other end. If the control voltage is 5 volts the servo remains in the
center position.
