Yes yr circuit breaker is too sensitive. you can replace the elcb, it wont cost much. my house ELCB trips when very strong lightning but not all the time. Get a reliable brand, its very important hardware in yr home electrical system.
No harm if u spend more the get a good one. |

U cant reduce the sensitivity but the replace the ELCB to a better reliable brand.
Ask him to also check your earth wires if all are good. |

QUOTE(Johan-N @ Jan 23 2010, 10:20 PM) in my old house even the slightest lighting makes the power trip. This is because when the lightning hits the ground (open area) it feeds back to your copper grounding rods which is connected to your ELCB and therefore giving u a trip.My house is the only house in 16 acres and is on a hill so i guess its normal for it to trip at slightest lighting. I asked my electrical technician and he said that its Normal for it to trip often during lighting. Does it trip a lot lastime? or just recently tripping a lot? |
