   DC links are ideal for this, but cannot be safely deployed without the necessary protection. Proper selection of protective devices (such as a DC breaker switch, high-speed fuse, or a circuit breaker) and their allocation according to distribution protection zones enables system integrators to achieve protection selectivity.

A toggle switch or tumbler switch is a class of electrical switches that are manually actuated by a mechanical lever, handle, or rocking mechanism.

4. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

   A circuit breaker is an electrical safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by current in excess of that which the equipment can safely carry (overcurrent). Its basic function is to interrupt current flow to protect equipment and to prevent fire.

5. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

   These switches appear externally similar to single pole, single throw (SPST) switches, but have extra connections which allow a circuit to be controlled from multiple locations. Toggling the switch disconnects one "traveler" terminal and connects the other. Electrically, a typical "3-way" switch is a single pole, double throw (SPDT) switch. By ...

6. Power system protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

   Switchgear is a combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. Switches are safe to open under normal load current (some switches are not safe to operate under normal or abnormal conditions), while protective devices are safe to open under fault current.

7. Hubbell Incorporated - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubbell_Incorporated

   Hubbell had been one of the first to manufacture flush toggle switches for alternating current only. The first Safety Receptacle was designed and produced as were the original "grounding only" devices which helped to set the standards for the industry. And while Hubbell was busy on land, the company found new opportunities at sea.
