3. Booster (electric power) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booster_(electric_power)

   The milking booster was so-called because it "milked" the healthy cells in the battery to give an extra charge to the faulty one. The motor side of the booster was connected across the whole battery but the generator side was connected only across the faulty cell. During discharge periods the booster supplemented the output of the faulty cell. [1]

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.

   High-voltage switchgear A section of a large switchgear panel. Tram switchgear This circuit breaker uses both SF 6 and air as insulation.. In an electric power system, a switchgear is composed of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment.

6. Substation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substation

   A circuit breaker is used as a protection device to interrupt fault currents automatically, and may be used to switch loads on and off, or to cut off a line when power is flowing in the 'wrong' direction. When a large fault current flows through the circuit breaker, this is detected through the use of current transformers. The magnitude of the ...

   This process is repeated continuously, creating a "shower of sparks." (Right) Booster coil components. The booster coil is separate from the magneto and can generate a series of sparks on its own. Current flow through the primary coil sets up a magnetic field about the coil that attracts the movable contact point, breaking circuit is broken.

8. Boost converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_converter

   An unregulated boost converter is used as the voltage increase mechanism in the circuit known as the "Joule thief", based on blocking oscillator concepts. This circuit topology is used with low power battery applications, and is aimed at the ability of a boost converter to "steal" the remaining energy in a battery.

9. Inrush current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

   The selection of over-current-protection devices such as fuses and circuit breakers is made more complicated when high inrush currents must be tolerated. The over-current protection must react quickly to overload or short-circuit faults but must not interrupt the circuit when the (usually harmless) inrush current flows.
