  2. Contact protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_protection

    Typical contact elements of an electromechanical relay or contactor. A “contact” is a pair of electrodes (typically, one moving; one stationary) designed to control electricity. Electromechanical switches, relays, and contactors “turn power on” when the moving electrode makes contact with the stationary electrode to carry current.

  3. 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.

  4. Electrical contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_contact

    An electrical contact is an electrical circuit component found in electrical switches, relays, connectors and circuit breakers. [1] Each contact is a piece of electrically conductive material, typically metal .

  5. Power system protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_system_protection

    Power system protection is a branch of electrical power engineering that deals with the protection of electrical power systems from faults [citation needed] through the disconnection of faulted parts from the rest of the electrical network. The objective of a protection scheme is to keep the power system stable by isolating only the components ...

  6. Contact resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_resistance

    It occurs at electrical connections such as switches, connectors, breakers, contacts, and measurement probes. Contact resistance values are typically small (in the microohm to milliohm range). Contact resistance can cause significant voltage drops and heating in circuits with high current.

  7. Electric switchboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_switchboard

    It is an assembly of one or more panels, each of which contains switching devices for the protection and control of circuits fed from the switchboard. Several manufacturers make switchboards used in industry, commercial buildings, telecommunication facilities, oil and gas plants, data centers, health care, and other buildings, and onboard large ...
