2. Protective relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

   An inverse-time over-current (ITOC) relay is an overcurrent relay which operates only when the magnitude of their operating current is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the energize quantities. The operating time of relay decreases with the increases in the current. The operation of the relay depends on the magnitude of the current. [33]

3. Arc-fault circuit interrupter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc-fault_circuit_interrupter

   AFCI circuit breakers include a standard inverse-time circuit breaker but provide no specific protection against "glowing" connections (also known as a high resistance connection), high line voltages, or low line voltages. An AFCI does not detect high line voltage caused by an open neutral in a multiwire branch circuit.

4. ANSI device numbers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_device_numbers

   In electric power systems and industrial automation, ANSI Device Numbers can be used to identify equipment and devices in a system such as relays, circuit breakers, or instruments. The device numbers are enumerated in ANSI / IEEE Standard C37.2 Standard for Electrical Power System Device Function Numbers, Acronyms, and Contact Designations .

5. 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.

6. Numerical relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_relay

   Digital/numerical relays provide a front panel display, or display on a terminal through a communication interface. This is used to display relay settings and real-time current/voltage values, etc. More complex digital relays will have metering and communication protocol ports, allowing the relay to become an element in a SCADA system.

7. Power system protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

   Instantaneous overcurrent requires that the current exceeds a predetermined level for the circuit breaker to operate. Time overcurrent protection operates based on a current vs time curve. Based on this curve, if the measured current exceeds a given level for the preset amount of time, the circuit breaker or fuse will operate.
