    The key can then be used to unlock the kiln door. While the key is removed from the switch interlock, a plunger from the interlock mechanically prevents the power switch from being turned on. Power cannot be re-applied to the kiln until the kiln door is locked, releasing the key, and the key is then returned to the power switch interlock. [5]

  3. Generator interlock kit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_Interlock_Kit

    The kit achieves the same function by adding an external interlock onto an existing breaker panel that allows the main breaker to be turned on or one designated load breaker to be turned on, but not both at the same time. The interlocked load breaker is repurposed as the "backfeed" breaker, and a generator is connected to it (wired directly or ...

  4. Nuclear reactor safety system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor_safety_system

    Under normal conditions, nuclear power plants receive power from generator. However, during an accident a plant may lose access to this power supply and thus may be required to generate its own power to supply its emergency systems. These electrical systems usually consist of diesel generators and batteries.

    Physical security systems for protected facilities can be intended to: [2] [3] [4] deter potential intruders (e.g. warning signs, security lighting); detect intrusions, and identify, monitor and record intruders (e.g. security alarms, access control and CCTV systems);

  7. 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 ...

    Cooling tower Nuclear power plant. Power plant engineering, abbreviated as TPTL, is a branch of the field of energy engineering, and is defined as the engineering and technology required for the production of an electric power station. [1] Technique is focused on power generation for industry and community, not just for household electricity ...

  9. Power system reliability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_reliability

    The power system reliability (sometimes grid reliability) is the probability of a normal operation of the electrical grid at a given time. Reliability indices characterize the ability of the electrical system to supply customers with electricity as needed [ 1 ] by measuring the frequency, duration, and scale of supply interruptions.
