  3. Arc-fault circuit interrupter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc-fault_circuit_interrupter

    The current (as of 2013) devices are referred to as "combination type." An arc-fault circuit interrupter ( AFCI) or arc-fault detection device ( AFDD) [1] is a circuit breaker that breaks the circuit when it detects the electric arcs that are a signature of loose connections in home wiring. Loose connections, which can develop over time, can ...

    Illinois: Elderly and the disabled were the only two groups that could qualify for the property tax circuit breaker program in the state of Illinois. The guidelines for eligibility were set by income with $27,610 being the maximum income for a single person household, $36,635 for two people, and $45,657 for three or more people. [5]

    Stab-Lok is a brand name of electrical circuit breakers that were manufactured primarily by Federal Pacific Electric between 1950-1980. [1] [2] In June 1980, Reliance Electric, which had purchased FPE, reported to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission that "many FPE circuit breakers did not fully comply with Underwriters ...

  6. Vacuum interrupter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_interrupter

    In electrical engineering, a vacuum interrupter is a switch which uses electrical contacts in a vacuum. It is the core component of medium-voltage circuit-breakers, generator circuit-breakers, and high-voltage circuit-breakers. Separation of the electrical contacts results in a metal vapour arc, which is quickly extinguished.

  7. Fault current limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_current_limiter

    Fault current limiter. A fault current limiter (FCL), also known as fault current controller (FCC), [1] is a device which limits the prospective fault current when a fault occurs (e.g. in a power transmission network) without complete disconnection. The term includes superconducting, solid-state and inductive devices.

  8. Circuit total limitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_total_limitation

    [citation needed] With the use of non-CTL breakers, panels can be configured with the total number of circuits in excess of the designed capacity of that panel. The 2008 code did away with the previous 42 circuit limitation on panelboards. One can now order panelboards with as many as 84 circuit places, and a corresponding ampacity rating.
