    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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  8. Electrical contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_contact

    An electrical contact is an electrical circuit component found in electrical switches, relays, connectors and circuit breakers. [1] Each contact is a piece of electrically conductive material, typically metal. When a pair of contacts touch, they can pass an electrical current with a certain contact resistance, dependent on surface structure, surface chemistry and contact time; [2] when the ...

  9. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    An early form of circuit breaker was described by Thomas Edison in an 1879 patent application, although his commercial power distribution system used fuses. [1] Its purpose was to protect lighting circuit wiring from accidental short circuits and overloads. A modern miniature circuit breaker similar to the ones now in use was patented by Brown, Boveri & Cie in 1924. Hugo Stotz, an engineer who ...
