  2. Protective relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

    Electromechanical protective relays operate by either magnetic attraction, or magnetic induction. [9]: 14 Unlike switching type electromechanical relays with fixed and usually ill-defined operating voltage thresholds and operating times, protective relays have well-established, selectable, and adjustable time and current (or other operating parameter) operating characteristics.

  3. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    Charge injection, where hot carriers generated by avalanche breakdown are injected into the oxide layer. Catastrophic ESD failure modes include: Junction burnout, where a conductive path forms through the junction and shorts it; Metallisation burnout, where melting or vaporizing of a part of the metal interconnect interrupts it

  4. Static relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_relay

    In electrical systems, a static relay is a type of relay, an electrically operated switch, that has no moving parts. [1] Static relays are contrasted with electromechanical relays, which use moving parts to create a switching action. Both types of relay control electrical circuits through a switch that is open or closed depending upon an ...

    A relay Electromechanical relay principle Electromechanical relay schematic showing a control coil, four pairs of normally open and one pair of normally closed contacts An automotive-style miniature relay with the dust cover taken off. A relay is an electrically operated switch. It consists of a set of input terminals for a single or multiple ...

  6. Arc flash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_flash

    Upon activation by an external relay, a fast-moving contact pin makes physical contact with the energized bus, creating the short circuit. By redirecting the fault current, this action provides robust protection for personnel in close proximity to the arc flash and limits damage to equipment by reducing the exposure time to the high-energy event.

  7. Anorexia (symptom) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anorexia_(symptom)

    Anorexia is a medical term for a loss of appetite.While the term outside of the scientific literature is often used interchangeably with anorexia nervosa, many possible causes exist for a loss of appetite, some of which may be harmless, while others indicate a serious clinical condition or pose a significant risk.
