3. 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 ...

   High-voltage switchgear A section of a large switchgear panel. Tram switchgear This circuit breaker uses both SF 6 and air as insulation.. In an electric power system, a switchgear is composed of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment.

5. Fuse (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

   Some fuses allow a special purpose micro switch or relay unit to be fixed to the fuse body. When the fuse element blows, the indicating pin extends to activate the micro switch or relay, which, in turn, triggers an event. Some fuses for medium-voltage applications use two or three separate barrels and two or three fuse elements in parallel.

6. Switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

   A high-voltage disconnect switch used in an electrical substation. Such switches are used mostly to isolate circuits, and usually cannot break load current. High-voltage switches are available for the highest transmission voltages, up to 1 million volts. This switch is gang-operated so that all three phases are interrupted at the same time.

7. Distribution transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_transformer

   The transformer is always connected to the primary distribution lines through protective fuses and disconnect switches. For pole-mounted transformers, this is usually a 'fused cutout.' An electrical fault melts the fuse, and the device drops open to give a visual indication of trouble.
