  3. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    A Siemens air circuit breaker rated for 1000 V and 2500 A continuous current mounted on a motor control cubicle. Medium-voltage circuit breakers rated between 1 and 72 kV may be assembled into metal-enclosed switchgear line-ups for indoor use or may be individual components installed outdoors in a substation.

  4. Protective relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

    Electromechanical protective relays operate by either magnetic attraction, or magnetic induction. [9]: 14 Unlike switching type electromechanical relays with fixed and usually ill-defined operating voltage thresholds and operating times, protective relays have well-established, selectable, and adjustable time and current (or other operating parameter) operating characteristics.

  9. Synchronization (alternating current) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization...

    The sequence of events is similar for manual or automatic synchronization. The generator is brought up to approximate synchronous speed by supplying more energy to its shaft - for example, opening the valves on a steam turbine, opening the gates on a hydraulic turbine, or increasing the fuel rack setting on a diesel engine. The field of the ...
