2. Recloser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recloser

   Controls for the reclosers range from the original electromechanical systems to digital electronics with metering and SCADA functions. The ratings of reclosers run from 2.4–38 kV for load currents from 10–1200 A and fault currents from 1–16 kA. [7] [8] On a 3-phase circuit, a recloser is more beneficial than three separate fuse cutouts.

3. Single-wire earth return - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_earth_return

   Single-wire earth return (SWER) or single-wire ground return is a single-wire transmission line which supplies single-phase electric power from an electrical grid to remote areas at lowest cost. The earth (or sometimes a body of water) is used as the return path for the current, to avoid the need for a second wire (or neutral wire ) to act as a ...

   A circuit breaker is used as a protection device to interrupt fault currents automatically, and may be used to switch loads on and off, or to cut off a line when power is flowing in the 'wrong' direction. When a large fault current flows through the circuit breaker, this is detected through the use of current transformers. The magnitude of the ...

5. Vacuum interrupter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_interrupter

   In 1956, Hugh C. Ross at Jennings Radio Manufacturing Corporation revolutionized the high-frequency-circuit vacuum switch and produced a vacuum switch with a rating of 15 kV at 200 A. Five years later, Thomas H. Lee at General Electric produced the first vacuum circuit breakers [2] [3] with a rated voltage of 15 kV at short-circuit breaking ...

6. Talk:Recloser - Wikipedia

   Parts of it look flaky, for instance "Reclosers address this problem by further dividing up the network into smaller sections" where no prior mention has been made of a network or of dividing it. Perhaps just sloppy writing, but "For instance, the city grid example above might be equipped with reclosers" implies that there's an example above ...

7. Electronic component - Wikipedia

   Recloser – automatic switch that opens on an overcurrent (fault) condition, then closes to check if the fault is cleared, and repeats this process a specified number of times before maintaining the open position until it is manually closed; Arc-fault circuit interrupter – circuit breaker that protects against arcs
