2. Synchronization (alternating current) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization...

   In an alternating current (AC) electric power system, synchronization is the process of matching the frequency, phase and voltage of a generator or other source to an electrical grid in order to transfer power. If two unconnected segments of a grid are to be connected to each other, they cannot safely exchange AC power until they are ...

3. Transfer switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_switch

   3-phase transfer switch single-line diagram Intelligent transfer switch. A transfer switch is an electrical switch that switches a load between two sources. Some transfer switches are manual, in that an operator effects the transfer by throwing a switch, while others are automatic and trigger when they sense one of the sources has lost or gained power.

4. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   A split-phase or single-phase three-wire system is a type of single-phase electric power distribution. It is the alternating current (AC) equivalent of the original Edison Machine Works three-wire direct-current system. Its primary advantage is that, for a given capacity of a distribution system, it saves conductor material over a single-ended ...

5. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

   Electrical device that uses batteries to prevent any interruption of power flow. A tower type UPS with one IEC 60320C14input and three C13outlets. A large data-center-scale UPS being installed by electricians. An uninterruptible power supply(UPS) or uninterruptible power sourceis a type of continual power systemthat provides automated backup ...

6. Industrial and multiphase power plugs and sockets - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_and_multiphase...

   Industrial and multiphase plugs and sockets provide a connection to the electrical mains rated at higher voltages and currents than household plugs and sockets. They are generally used in polyphase systems, with high currents, or when protection from environmental hazards is required. Industrial outlets may have weatherproof covers ...

7. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

   In power engineering, a single-line diagram (SLD), also sometimes called one-line diagram, is a simplest symbolic representation of an electric power system. [1][2] A single line in the diagram typically corresponds to more than one physical conductor: in a direct current system the line includes the supply and return paths, in a three-phase ...
