    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_board

    A distribution board (also known as panelboard, circuit breaker panel, breaker panel, electric panel, fuse box or DB box) is a component of an electricity supply system that divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure.

  3. Frequency changer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer

    A cycloconverter is also a type of frequency changer. Unlike a VFD, which is an indirect frequency changer since it uses an AC-DC stage and then a DC-AC stage, a cycloconverter is a direct frequency changer because it uses no intermediate stages. Another application is in the aerospace and airline industries. Often airplanes use 400 Hz power so ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker_(overcurrent)

    An early form of circuit breaker was described by Thomas Edison in an 1879 patent application, although his commercial power distribution system used fuses. [2] Its purpose was to protect lighting circuit wiring from accidental short circuits and overloads.

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control_center

    Motor control centers are usually used for low voltage three-phase alternating current motors from 208 V to 600 V. Medium-voltage motor control centers are made for large motors running at 2300 V to around 15000 V, using vacuum contactors for switching and with separate compartments for power switching and control.

  7. Federal Pacific Electric Corporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Pacific_Electric...

    The company, in its earliest form as Federal Electric, a lighted sign company, was founded in 1901. It later made home and kitchen appliances, neon signs, police sirens, and circuit-breakers. Everything but circuit-breakers had been spun off or sold off to other companies by the 1940s, and the name was changed to Federal Pacific Electric.
