2. Surge protector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector

   Surge Protection Device (SPD) for installation in a low-voltage distribution board. A surge protector (or spike suppressor, surge suppressor, surge diverter, [1] surge protection device (SPD), transient voltage suppressor (TVS) or transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS)) is an appliance or device intended to protect electrical devices in alternating current (AC) circuits from voltage spikes ...

3. Power system protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

   Earth fault protection also requires current transformers and senses an imbalance in a three-phase circuit. Normally the three phase currents are in balance, i.e. roughly equal in magnitude. If one or two phases become connected to earth via a low impedance path, their magnitudes will increase dramatically, as will current imbalance.

4. Varistor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varistor

   Plug assembly with surge protector circuitry. A typical surge protector power strip is built using MOVs. Low-cost versions may use only one varistor, from the hot (live, active) to the neutral conductor. A better protector contains at least three varistors; one across each of the three pairs of conductors.

5. CPN Cudis - Wikipedia

   CPN Cudis is a British provider of electrical circuit protection components, such as distribution boards and consumer units. The business was founded in 2004. The company's headquarters is in Bury, Greater Manchester, and employs approximately 20 staff. CPN Cudis supply customers worldwide, but mainly operate in the UK and Europe.

6. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

   The offline/standby UPS offers only the most basic features, providing surge protection and battery backup. The protected equipment is normally connected directly to incoming utility power. When the incoming voltage falls below or rises above a predetermined level the UPS turns on its internal DC-AC inverter circuitry, which is powered from an ...

7. Inrush current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

   Inrush current, input surge current, or switch-on surge is the maximal instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on. Alternating-current electric motors and transformers may draw several times their normal full-load current when first energized, for a few cycles of the input waveform.
