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 ...

4. Selectivity (circuit breakers) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selectivity_(circuit_breakers)

   Selectivity, also known as circuit breaker discrimination, is the coordination of overcurrent protection devices so that a fault in the installation is cleared by the protection device located immediately upstream of the fault. The purpose of selectivity is to minimize the impact of a failure on the network.

5. 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 ...

6. IEC 61000-4-5 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_61000-4-5

   [2] [5] The "8/20 μs" generator is designed for surge arrester testing, and produces a high-current surge into a low-impedance load. [2] On the other hand, modern electronic devices can be high and low-impedance loads simultaneously due to non-linear devices, protection circuits, and arcing in a dielectric breakdown.

7. Earthing system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system

   In the event of a surge, a lightning arrester, a surge arrester or a surge protection device (SPD) will divert the excess current to the Earth before it reaches an appliance. [3] System earthing allows for equipotential bonding to all metal works to prevent potential differences between them. [4]
