  2. Load-balanced switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-balanced_switch

    A load-balanced switch backbone can deliver 100% throughput with an overcapacity of just 2x, as measured across the whole system. The underpinnings of large backbone networks are usually optical channels that cannot be quickly switched. These map well to the constant-rate 2R/N channels of the load-balanced switch's mesh.

  3. Electrical fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_fault

    An asymmetric or unbalanced fault does not affect each of the phases equally. Common types of asymmetric fault, and their causes: Common types of asymmetric fault, and their causes: line-to-line fault - a short circuit between lines, caused by ionization of air, or when lines come into physical contact, for example due to a broken insulator .

  4. Load balancing (electrical power) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_balancing_(electrical...

    Load balancing, load matching, or daily peak demand reserve refers to the use of various techniques by electrical power stations to store excess electrical power during low demand periods for release as demand rises. [1] The aim is for the power supply system to have a load factor of 1.

  5. Washing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washing_machine

    A washing machine (laundry machine, clothes washer, washer, or simply wash) is a machine designed to launder clothing. The term is mostly applied to machines that use water. Other ways of doing laundry include dry cleaning (which uses alternative cleaning fluids and is performed by specialist businesses) and ultrasonic cleaning.

  6. Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

    However, when the switch is flicked, the resistance must pass through a state where a quarter of the load's rated power [citation needed] (or worse if the load is not purely resistive) is briefly dropped in the switch. For this reason, power switches intended to interrupt a load current have spring mechanisms to make sure the transition between ...

  7. Disconnector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disconnector

    Unlike load switches and circuit breakers, disconnectors lack a mechanism for suppression of electric arcs which occur when conductors carrying high currents are mechanically interrupted. Thus, they are off-load devices, with very low breaking capacity , intended to be opened only after the current has been interrupted by some other control device.

  8. Grid balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_balancing

    [5] As of the beginning of 2020s, the actual balancing service was provided primarily by the conventional power stations : [ 1 ] frequently, the only quick-response safety margin is the inertial response provided by the kinetic energy of the physically rotating machinery ( synchronous generators and turbines).

  9. Demand response - Wikipedia
