  2. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

    An assortment of thermal fuses. A thermal cutoff is an electrical safety device (either a thermal fuse or thermal switch) that interrupts electric current when heated to a specific temperature. These devices may be for one-time use (a thermal fuse), or may be reset manually or automatically (a thermal switch).

  3. High resistance connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_resistance_connection

    Thermal monitoring of the connection and providing an HRC device close to the probable location where a fault may develop is key to providing early warning or isolation to reduce the risk of fire. Safety devices such as fuses and residual-current devices (RCDs) are unable to detect thermal rise and disconnect the electrical supply because they ...

  4. Thermal burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_burn

    A thermal burn is a type of burn resulting from making contact with heated objects, such as boiling water, steam, hot cooking oil, fire, and hot objects. Scalds are the most common type of thermal burn suffered by children, but for adults thermal burns are most commonly caused by fire. [ 2 ]

  5. Thermal runaway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_runaway

    Chemical reactions involving thermal runaway are also called thermal explosions in chemical engineering, or runaway reactions in organic chemistry.It is a process by which an exothermic reaction goes out of control: the reaction rate increases due to an increase in temperature, causing a further increase in temperature and hence a further rapid increase in the reaction rate.

  6. Arc-fault circuit interrupter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc-fault_circuit_interrupter

    The electronics inside an AFCI breaker detect electrical current alternating at characteristic frequencies, usually around 100 kHz, known to be associated with wire arcing, which are sustained for more than a few milliseconds.

  7. Fusible plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible_plug

    The very large thermal loads imposed by abnormal landing and braking conditions (such as a high-speed rejected takeoff, where an aircraft heavy with fuel must brake hard from a very high speed to a stop in a relatively short distance) can cause the already high pressure in the tyres to rise to the point that the tyre might burst, so fusible ...
