2. Power system protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

   Power system protection is a branch of electrical power engineering that deals with the protection of electrical power systems from faults [citation needed] through the disconnection of faulted parts from the rest of the electrical network. The objective of a protection scheme is to keep the power system stable by isolating only the components ...

3. Protective relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

   The relays can also be classified on the type of power source that they use to work. A dual powered protection relay powered by the current obtained from the line by a CT. The striker is also shown. Self-powered relays operate on energy derived from the protected circuit, through the current transformers used to measure line current, for example.

4. Relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay

   This thermal protection operates relatively slowly allowing the motor to draw higher starting currents before the protection relay will trip. Where the overload relay is exposed to the same ambient temperature as the motor, a useful though crude compensation for motor ambient temperature is provided. [22] The other common overload protection ...

5. ANSI device numbers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_device_numbers

   Today, microprocessor-based relays can perform many protective functions in one device. [1] When one device performs several protective functions, it is typically denoted "11" by the standard as a "Multifunction Device", but ANSI Device Numbers are still used in documentation like single-line diagrams or schematics to indicate which specific ...

6. Magnetic starter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_starter

   Contactor with overload relay. A magnetic starter is an electromagnetically operated switch which provides a safe method for starting an electric motor with a large load. . Magnetic starters also provide under-voltage and overload protection and an automatic cutoff in the event of a power fai

7. Motor controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_controller

   A motor controller is a device or group of devices that can coordinate in a predetermined manner the performance of an electric motor. [1] A motor controller might include a manual or automatic means for starting and stopping the motor, selecting forward or reverse rotation, selecting and regulating the speed, regulating or limiting the torque, and protecting against overloads and electrical ...
