  2. Interlock (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlock_(engineering)

    Electrical interlock on wire mesh. An interlock device is designed to allow a generator to provide backup power in such a way that it (a) prevents main and generator power to be connected at the same time, and (b) allows circuit breakers to operate normally without interference in the event of an overload condition. Most interlock devices for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapped-key_interlocking

    A key exchange block may only hold and release keys and may not have a bolt to interlock process equipment, or may be part of the interlock of a particular machine or device. This is a transfer block, part of a trapped-key interlock system. It does not have a bolt to stop operation of a device, but holds and releases other keys.

  4. Generator interlock kit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_Interlock_Kit

    Without a UL Listing, some electrical inspectors will not allow the use of these interlock kits. With kits installed on the electrical panel's cover, removing the cover could allow the generator backfeed breaker to be turned on while the main is on, [4] potentially energizing power lines or overloading the generator, if the generator is connected.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlocking

    Electric locking "The combination of one or more electric locks or controlling circuits by means of which levers in an interlocking machine, or switches or other devices operated in connection with signalling and interlocking, are secured against operation under certain conditions." [19] Section locking

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_interlock_device

    A Draeger ignition interlock device (red arrow) in a Scania bus. An ignition interlock device or breath alcohol ignition interlock device (IID or BAIID) is a breathalyzer for an individual's vehicle. It requires the driver to blow into a mouthpiece on the device before starting or continuing to operate the vehicle.

  7. Electronic lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_lock

    A quick demonstration of an electronic door lock. An electronic lock (or electric lock) is a locking device which operates by means of electric current. Electric locks are sometimes stand-alone with an electronic control assembly mounted directly to the lock.

  8. Mercury switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch

    A mercury switch is an electrical switch that opens and closes a circuit when a small amount of the liquid metal mercury connects metal electrodes to close the circuit. There are several different basic designs (tilt, displacement, radial, etc.) but they all share the common design strength of non-eroding switch contacts.

  9. Backfeeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backfeeding

    A common source of unintentional backfeeding is an electrical generator (typically a portable generator) that is improperly connected to a building electrical system.A properly installed electrical generator incorporates the use of a transfer switch or generator interlock kit to ensure the incoming electrical service line is disconnected when the generator is providing power to the building.
