  4. Intelligent electronic device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_electronic_device

    Protective relay is an example of an intelligent electronic device. In the electric power industry, an intelligent electronic device (IED) is an integrated microprocessor-based controller of power system equipment, such as circuit breakers, transformers and capacitor banks. [1]

  5. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

    The power delivered in an AC system is defined by the root mean square (RMS) of an AC voltage, but RMS is only about 71% of the peak voltage. Therefore, if the HVDC line can operate continuously with an HVDC voltage that is the same as the peak voltage of the AC equivalent line, then for a given current (where HVDC current is the same as the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    IEEE 200-1975 or "Standard Reference Designations for Electrical and Electronics Parts and Equipments" is a standard that was used to define referencing naming systems for collections of electronic equipment. IEEE 200 was ratified in 1975. The IEEE renewed the standard in the 1990s, but withdrew it from active support shortly thereafter.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated-phase_bus

    In electrical engineering, isolated-phase bus (IPB), also known as phase-isolated bus (PIB) in some countries, is a method of construction for circuits carrying very large currents, typically between a generator and its step-up transformer in a steam or large hydroelectric power plant. Isolated phase bus during installation at the Bui Dam Ghana ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

    In electrical engineering, a protective relay is a relay device designed to trip a circuit breaker when a fault is detected. [ 1 ] : 4 The first protective relays were electromagnetic devices, relying on coils operating on moving parts to provide detection of abnormal operating conditions such as over-current, overvoltage , reverse power flow ...
