  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. Arcing horns - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcing_horns

    Arcing horns are sometimes installed on air-insulated switchgear and transformers to protect the switch arm from arc damage. When a high voltage switch breaks a circuit, an arc can establish itself between the switch contacts before the current can be interrupted. The horns are designed to endure the arc rather than the contact surfaces of the ...

  4. Arc suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_suppression

    Every time an electrical power device (for example: heaters, lamps, motors, transformers or similar power loads) turns on or off, its switch, relay or contactor transitions either from a CLOSED to an OPEN state ("BREAK") or from an OPEN to a CLOSED state ("MAKE"), under load, an electrical arc occurs between the two contact points (electrodes) of the switch.

    Simplified single line diagram of a single-phase transfer switch to select either 'city' (utility) power or local generator power 3-phase Intelligent transfer switch. A transfer switch is an electrical switch that switches a load between two sources. Some transfer switches are manual, in that an operator effects the transfer by throwing a ...
