  2. Electrical fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_fault

    An open-circuit fault occurs if a circuit is interrupted by a failure of a current-carrying wire (phase or neutral) or a blown fuse or circuit breaker. In three-phase systems, a fault may involve one or more phases and ground, or may occur only between phases. In a "ground fault" or "earth fault", current flows into the earth.

  3. Fuse (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(electrical)

    A time-delay fuse (also known as an anti-surge or slow-blow fuse) is designed to allow a current which is above the rated value of the fuse to flow for a short period of time without the fuse blowing. These types of fuse are used on equipment such as motors, which can draw larger than normal currents for up to several seconds while coming up to ...

  4. Fuse cutout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_cutout

    In electrical distribution, a fuse cutout or cut-out fuse (often referred to as a cutout) is a combination of a fuse and a switch, used in primary overhead feeder lines and taps to protect distribution transformers from current surges and overloads. An overcurrent caused by a fault in the transformer or customer circuit will cause the fuse to ...

  5. Rope-burning puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope-burning_puzzle

    A common and simple version of this problem asks to measure a time of 45 seconds using only two fuses that each burn for a minute. The assumptions of the problem are usually specified in a way that prevents measuring out 3/4 of the length of one fuse and burning it end-to-end, for instance by stating that the fuses burn unevenly along their length.

  6. Inrush current limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current_limiter

    An inrush current limiter is a component used to limit inrush current to avoid gradual damage to components and avoid blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers.Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors and fixed resistors are often used to limit inrush current.

  7. Battleshort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battleshort

    The origin of the term is to bridge or "short" the fuses of an electrical apparatus before entering combat, so that the fuse blowing will not stop the equipment from operating. According to Allied Ordnance Publication AOP-38-3, [ 1 ] a NATO publication, a battleshort is "The capability to bypass certain safety features in a system to ensure ...

  8. High resistance connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_resistance_connection

    Loose or poor connections in traditional electrical accessories and switchgear can cause heat to develop capable of starting a fire. This problem is known as High Resistance Connection (HRC) and safety devices such as fuses and Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are unable to disconnect the electrical supply because they cannot detect a HRC.

  9. IEC 60269 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60269

    In electrical engineering, IEC 60269 is a set of technical standards for low-voltage power fuses. [1] The standard is in four volumes, which describe general requirements, fuses for industrial and commercial applications, fuses for residential applications, and fuses to protect semiconductor devices.
