  2. Load management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_management

    Since electrical energy is a form of energy that cannot be effectively stored in bulk, it must be generated, distributed, and consumed immediately. When the load on a system approaches the maximum generating capacity, network operators must either find additional supplies of energy or find ways to curtail the load, hence load management.

  3. Electric power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

    These switches allow the part of the system being worked on to be isolated while the rest of the system remains live. At high voltages, there are two switches of note: isolators and circuit breakers. Circuit breakers are load-breaking switches where as operating isolators under load would lead to unacceptable and dangerous arcing. In a typical ...

  4. Circuit total limitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_total_limitation

    The 2008 code did away with the previous 42 circuit limitation on panelboards. [3] One can now order panelboards with as many as 84 circuit places, and a corresponding ampacity rating. If a panelboard with a sufficient number of breaker positions is installed in the first place, the need for non-CTL breakers should be eliminated.

  5. Distribution board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_board

    A distribution board (also known as panelboard, circuit breaker panel, breaker panel, electric panel, fuse box or DB box) is a component of an electricity supply system that divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure.

  6. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    Circuit breakers with higher ratings can have adjustable trip settings, allowing fewer standardized products to be used, adjusted to the applicable precise ratings when installed. For example, a circuit breaker with a 400 ampere frame size might have its over-current detection threshold set only 300 amperes where that rating is appropriate.

  7. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Circuit breakers and switches enable the substation to be disconnected from the transmission grid or for distribution lines to be disconnected. Transformers step down transmission voltages, 35 kV or more, down to primary distribution voltages. These are medium voltage circuits, usually 600–35 000 V. [1]

  8. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

    Circuit breakers: used to automatically break a circuit and isolate a fault in the system. [27] Switches: to control the flow of electricity, and isolate equipment. [28] The substation busbar: typically a set of three conductors, one for each phase of current. The substation is organized around the buses, and they are connected to incoming ...

  9. Fault current limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_current_limiter

    A simple solution is to add electrical impedance to the circuit. This limits the rate at which current can increase, which limits the level the fault current can rise to before the breaker is opened. However, this also limits the ability of the circuit to satisfy rapidly changing demand, so the addition or removal of large loads causes unstable ...
