2. Korndörfer autotransformer starter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korndörfer_Autotransformer...

   The Korndorfer starter can be used manually. Newer devices provide full automatic operation, which in addition would have: triple-pole line contactor (switch), start contactor, running contactor, three single-pole overload relays, autotransformer with a set tap-changing links, a suitable timer, and start and stop pushbuttons.

3. Relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay

   SPST-NC (Single-Pole Single-Throw, Normally-Closed) relays have a single Form B or break contact. As with an SPST-NO relay, such a relay has four terminals in total. SPDT (Single-Pole Double-Throw) relays have a single set of Form C, break before make or transfer contacts. That is, a common terminal connects to either of two others, never ...

4. Residual-current device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

   A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of Earth-leakage circuit breaker, that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through line and neutral conductors of a circuit is not equal (the term residual relating to the imbalance), therefore ...

5. Mercury switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch

   A Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) mercury switch on millimetre graph paper, device length approximately 1.5 cm Another mercury switch design. A mercury switch is an electrical switch that opens and closes a circuit when a small amount of the liquid metal mercury connects metal electrodes to close the circuit. There are several different basic ...

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. Circuit breaker (overcurrent) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker_(overcurrent)

   High-voltage circuit breakers used on transmission systems may be arranged to allow a single pole of a three-phase line to trip, instead of tripping all three poles; for some classes of faults this improves the system stability and availability. High-voltage direct current circuit breakers are still a field of research as of 2015. Such breakers ...
