  2. Property Tax Circuit Breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_Tax_Circuit_Breaker

    A Property Tax Circuit Breaker is a tax refund in the United States given to low income individuals and families whose property tax liability is a large percentage of their yearly income. The term was coined by John Shannon of the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations in the 1960s. There are currently 18 states who use a wide scope of programs to relieve the property tax burden ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    Circuit breakers are made in varying current ratings, from devices that protect low-current circuits or individual household appliances, to switchgear designed to protect high-voltage circuits feeding an entire city. Any device which protects against excessive current by automatically removing power from a faulty system, such as a circuit breaker or fuse, can be referred to as an over-current ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

    A residual-current device ( RCD ), residual-current circuit breaker ( RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter ( GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through a conductor is not equal and opposite in both directions, therefore indicating an improper flow of current such as leakage current to ground or current flowing to another ...

  6. Arc-fault circuit interrupter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc-fault_circuit_interrupter

    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 sometimes become hot enough to ignite house fires. An AFCI selectively distinguishes between a harmless arc (incidental to ...

  7. Sulfur hexafluoride circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_hexafluoride...

    Sulfur hexafluoride circuit breakers protect electrical power stations and distribution systems by interrupting electric currents, when tripped by a protective relay. Instead of oil, air, or a vacuum, a sulfur hexafluoride circuit breaker uses sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6) gas to cool and quench the arc on opening a circuit. Advantages over other media include lower operating noise and no ...
