2. Solid-state electronics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_electronics

   The term solid-state became popular at the beginning of the semiconductor era in the 1960s to distinguish this new technology. A semiconductor device works by controlling an electric current consisting of electrons or holes moving within a solid crystalline piece of semiconducting material such as silicon, while the thermionic vacuum tubes it replaced worked by controlling a current of ...

3. Solid-state relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_relay

   A solid state relay (SSR) is an electronic switching device that switches on or off when an external voltage (AC or DC) is applied across its control terminals. They serve the same function as an electromechanical relay , but solid-state electronics contain no moving parts and have a longer operational lifetime.

4. Fault current limiter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_current_limiter

   Electric power distribution systems include circuit breakers to disconnect power in case of a fault, but to maximize reliability, they wish to disconnect the smallest possible portion of the network. This means that even the smallest circuit breakers, as well as all wiring to them, must be able to disconnect large fault currents. [citation needed]

5. Wirecutter (website) - Wikipedia

   To prevent bias, the staff who write its reviews are not informed about what commissions, if any, the site receives for different products. [8] Due to affiliate revenue, the site is less reliant than other blogs and news sites on advertising revenue, although the Wirecutter site has displayed banner ads in the past.

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 ...

7. Sulfur hexafluoride circuit breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_hexafluoride...

   Sulfur hexafluoride circuit breakers protect electrical power stations and distribution systems by interrupting electric currents, when tripped by a protective relay. Instead of oil, air, or a vacuum, a sulfur hexafluoride circuit breaker uses sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) gas to cool and quench the arc on opening a circuit.
