Question

What happens if there is any insulation failure in electrical installation in a system?

  1. The current starts leaking out and an earth leakage circuit breaker helps to cut off power supply
  2. The energy starts leaking out and an earth leakage circuit breaker helps to cut off power supply
  3. The voltage starts leaking out and an earth leakage circuit breaker helps to cut off power supply
  4. The wire insulation starts leaking out and an earth leakage circuit breaker helps to cut off power supply

hintHint:

  • The current starts leaking out.

The correct answer is: The current starts leaking out and an earth leakage circuit breaker helps to cut off power supply


    • The current starts leaking out and an earth leakage circuit breaker helps to cut off power supply when there is any insulation failure in electrical installation in a system.
