2. Resettable fuse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resettable_fuse

   A resettable fuse or polymeric positive temperature coefficient device (PPTC) is a passive electronic component used to protect against overcurrent faults in electronic circuits. The device is also known as a multifuse or polyfuse or polyswitch .

3. Automotive fuse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_fuse

   Automobile electrical circuit breaker with resettable switch. Automotive fuses are a class of fuses used to protect the wiring and electrical equipment for vehicles. They are generally rated for circuits no higher than 32 volts direct current, but some types are rated for 42-volt electrical systems. They are occasionally used in non-automotive ...

4. Fuse (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

   Some companies manufacture resettable miniature thermal circuit breakers, which screw into a fuse socket. [14] [15] Some installations use these Edison-base circuit breakers. However, any such breaker sold today does have one flaw. It may be installed in a circuit-breaker box with a door.

5. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

   A small circuit breaker typically has a manual control lever to switch the circuit off or reset a tripped breaker, while a larger unit may use a solenoid to trip the mechanism, and an electric motor to restore energy to springs (which rapidly separate contacts when the breaker is tripped).

6. Recloser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recloser

   To prevent electric power distribution network damage, each station along the network is protected with circuit breakers or fuse cutouts which turn off power in the event of a short circuit. These protection solutions present a major problem when restoring power immediately following transient events, because repair crews need to manually reset ...

7. Residual-current device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

   A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through a conductor is not equal and opposite in both directions, therefore indicating leakage current to ground or current flowing to another powered conductor.
