A problem arises if the electricity supply is upgraded, by adding new generation capacity or by adding cross-connections. Because these increase the amount of power that can be supplied, all of the branch circuits must have their bus bars and circuit breakers upgraded to handle the new higher fault current limit.

A limit switch with a roller-lever operator; this is installed on a gate on a canal lock, and indicates the position of a gate to a control system A limit switch mounted on a moving part of a bridge In electrical engineering , a limit switch is a switch operated by the motion of a machine part or the presence of an object.
This is an energy balance which defines the position of the moving interface. Note that this evolving boundary is an unknown (hyper-)surface; hence, Stefan problems are examples of free boundary problems. Analogous problems occur, for example, in the study of porous media flow, mathematical finance and crystal growth from monomer solutions. [1]
ICP is a Carrier subsidiary. ICP makes oil and gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air-conditioning systems for residential and commercial customers. [1] It manufacturers, markets, and sells residential heating and cooling systems under the Arcoaire, Comfortmaker, Day & Night, Heil, KeepRite, Lincoln, and Tempstar brands; its commercial units, with up to 25 tons of cooling capacity, are sold ...
A thermal switch (sometimes thermal reset or thermal cutout (TCO)) is a device which normally opens at a high temperature (often with a faint "plink" sound) and re-closes when the temperature drops. The thermal switch may be a bimetallic strip, often encased in a tubular glass bulb to protect it from dust or short circuit. Another common design ...
Light switch, a bistable mechanism. In a dynamical system, bistability means the system has two stable equilibrium states. [1] A bistable structure can be resting in either of two states. An example of a mechanical device which is bistable is a light switch. The switch lever is designed to rest in the "on" or "off" position, but not between the ...
An example is a pushbutton switch. SPST-NC Form B [4] Single pole, single throw, normally closed A simple on-off switch. The two terminals are normally connected together (closed) and are open when the switch is activated. An example is a pushbutton switch. SPDT Form C [4] Single pole, double throw: Two-way: Three-way
All dimmers rely on heat conduction and convection to keep the electronic components cool. Similarly, power wiring (e.g., house wiring) not surrounded by an air space (e.g., inside a conduit) needs to have its current-limiting device (e.g., circuit breaker or fuse) adjusted so as not to carry as much current through that circuit.
