2. Protective relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

   Self-powered relays are advantageous in terms of cost and reliability as they do not require a separate power supply. Auxiliary-powered relays rely on a battery or external AC supply. Some relays can use either AC or DC. The auxiliary supply must be highly reliable during a system fault to ensure the relay can operate.

3. Power system protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

   Power system protection is a branch of electrical power engineering that deals with the protection of electrical power systems from faults [citation needed] through the disconnection of faulted parts from the rest of the electrical network. The objective of a protection scheme is to keep the power system stable by isolating only the components ...

4. Residual-current device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

   A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of Earth-leakage circuit breaker, that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through line and neutral conductors of a circuit is not equal (the term residual relating to the imbalance), therefore ...

5. Relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay

   A relay allows circuits to be switched by electrical equipment: for example, a timer circuit with a relay could switch power at a preset time. For many years relays were the standard method of controlling industrial electronic systems. A number of relays could be used together to carry out complex functions (relay logic). The principle of relay ...

6. Numerical relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_relay

   Protective relay. In utility and industrial electric power transmission and distribution systems, a numerical relay is a computer-based system with software-based protection algorithms for the detection of electrical faults. [1] Such relays are also termed as microprocessor type protective relays.

7. Zellweger off-peak - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zellweger_off-peak

   Zellweger is the brand name of an electric switching device also known as a Ripple Control Receiver used to control off-peak electrical loads such as water heaters by switching these loads OFF over peak energy use times of the day and switching them ON after peak energy use times of the day, hence the term 'off peak' control.
