4. Prospective short-circuit current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospective_short-circuit...

   The short-circuit current should be around 20 times the rating of the circuit to ensure the branch circuit protection clears a fault quickly. Quick disconnecting is needed, because during a line-to-ground short circuit the grounding pin potential on the power outlet can rise relative to the local earth (concrete floor, water pipe etc.) to a ...

5. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   This three-wire single-phase system is common in North America for residential and light commercial applications. Circuit breaker panels typically have two live (hot) wires, and a neutral, connected at one point to the grounded center tap of a local transformer. Usually, one of the live wires is black and the other one red; the neutral wire is ...

6. Generator interlock kit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_Interlock_Kit

   The kit achieves the same function by adding an external interlock onto an existing breaker panel that allows the main breaker to be turned on or one designated load breaker to be turned on, but not both at the same time. The interlocked load breaker is repurposed as the "backfeed" breaker, and a generator is connected to it (wired directly or ...
