2. Residual-current device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

   A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of Earth-leakage circuit breaker, that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through line and neutral conductors of a circuit is not equal (the term residual relating to the imbalance), therefore ...

3. Transmission control unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Unit

   The transmission control unit (TCU) in older automobiles with a clutchless manual transmission (without a clutch pedal) typically consists of an electrical switch connected to the gearshift, that is activated whenever the internal transmission control unit senses driver touching the gearshift to switch gears, which then primes a sensor or ...

4. Power system protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

   Switchgear is a combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. Switches are safe to open under normal load current (some switches are not safe to operate under normal or abnormal conditions), while protective devices are safe to open under fault current.

5. Galvanic isolation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_isolation

   Large relays can switch very high currents, but they are limited in speed and reliability by their mechanical nature. One increasingly common application is in EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) where a high-power relay energizes the supply cable only when it is securely connected to the vehicle and both ends are ready to transfer power.

6. Fault detection and isolation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_detection_and_isolation

   Fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) is a subfield of control engineering which concerns itself with monitoring a system, identifying when a fault has occurred, and pinpointing the type of fault and its location. Two approaches can be distinguished: A direct pattern recognition of sensor readings that indicate a fault and an analysis ...

7. Modular switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_switch

   Modular switches also support additional line cards which can provide new functions to the switch that would previously have been unavailable, such as a firewall. [4] An example of a modular computer network switch is the Cisco Catalyst 6500 , which can be configured with up to 13 slots, and supports connections from RJ45 to QSFP+.

8. Busbar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busbar

   The busbar's material composition and cross-sectional size determine the maximum current it can safely carry. Busbars can have a cross-sectional area of as little as 10 square millimetres (0.016 sq in), but electrical substations may use metal tubes 50 millimetres (2.0 in) in diameter or more as busbars.

9. Distribution board - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_board

   A distribution board (also known as panelboard, circuit breaker panel, breaker panel, electric panel, fuse box or DB box) is a component of an electricity supply system that divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure.
