Power continuity is important since

electrical supply. Fault occurring due
to a short circuit in the ground or

OPERAT
•
An automatic system that restores the electrical supply by switching
on the ELCB
•
Power Recovery
An automatic system that detects fault location and isolates the fault
by switching off the affected MCB. Once fault is detected and
isolated, ELCB will be switched on and power supply is restored
•
Manually switching on off residual-current breaker (RCCB) is
needed currently, whereas for Auto-EProS,
the
RCCB
will
automatically be switched on without human presence
•
Manually checking the MCB for any fault is needed currently,
whereas for Auto-EProS, there is an automatic system to detect
fault location and isolate the fault by switching off the affected MCB
