2. Pressure vacuum breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_vacuum_breaker

   A pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) is a type of backflow prevention device, used to keep non-potable (or contaminated) water from entering the water supply. A PVB is similar to an atmospheric vacuum breaker (AVB), except that the PVB contains a spring-loaded poppet. This makes it acceptable for applications that are high hazard or where valves are ...

3. Vacuum breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_breaker

   A vacuum breaker is a device that prevents water from being siphoned backward in a direction it is not desired to go. They are commonly placed on a bibcock valve or toilet or urinal flush valve , in which application they can prevent hose or drainage water from back-siphoning into the public drinking water system.

4. Atmospheric vacuum breaker - Wikipedia

   An Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB) is a backflow prevention device used in plumbing to prevent backflow of non-potable liquids into the drinking water system.. Diagram of Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker in both working states.

5. Sulfur hexafluoride circuit breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_hexafluoride...

   Sulfur hexafluoride circuit breakers protect electrical power stations and distribution systems by interrupting electric currents, when tripped by a protective relay. Instead of oil, air, or a vacuum, a sulfur hexafluoride circuit breaker uses sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6) gas to cool and quench the arc on opening a circuit. Advantages over other ...

   PVB may refer to: Palos Verdes blue (Glaucopsyche lygdamus palosverdesensis), a butterfly; Pemberton Volcanic Belt, a geologic feature in southwestern British Columbia, Canada; Phong Vũ Buffalo, a professional eSports organization; Polyvinyl butyral, a type of plastic; Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida; Present value of benefits, a term used in ...

7. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

   Vacuum circuit breakers—With rated current up to 6,300 A, and higher for generator circuit breakers application (up to 16,000 A & 140 kA). These breakers interrupt the current by creating and extinguishing the arc in a vacuum container – aka "bottle". Long life bellows are designed to travel the 6–10 mm the contacts must part.

   That amount wasn’t enough to solve the county’s troubles, but it could have bought 333 kits of Narcan, a medication that can reverse opioid overdoses. Instead, people are left wondering how a ...

9. Transient recovery voltage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_Recovery_Voltage

   Examples of TRV waveshapes. A transient recovery voltage (TRV) for high-voltage circuit breakers is the voltage that appears across the terminals after current interruption. It is a critical parameter for fault interruption by a high-voltage circuit breaker, its characteristics (amplitude, rate of rise) can lead either to a successful current interruption or to a failure (called reignition or ...
