Brownout (electricity)

A brownout is a drop in the magnitude of voltage in an electrical power system. Voltage sag and brownout (electricity) are voltage stability.

Busbar

In electric power distribution, a busbar (also bus bar) is a metallic strip or bar, typically housed inside switchgear, panel boards, and busway enclosures for local high current power distribution.

See Voltage sag and Busbar

Circuit breaker

A circuit breaker is an electrical safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by current in excess of that which the equipment can safely carry (overcurrent).

See Voltage sag and Circuit breaker

Electric motor

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

See Voltage sag and Electric motor

Electric power distribution

Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity.

See Voltage sag and Electric power distribution

Electric power quality

Electric power quality is the degree to which the voltage, frequency, and waveform of a power supply system conform to established specifications. Voltage sag and Electric power quality are power engineering.

See Voltage sag and Electric power quality

Electric power system

An electric power system is a network of electrical components deployed to supply, transfer, and use electric power. Voltage sag and electric power system are power engineering.

See Voltage sag and Electric power system

Fuse (electrical)

In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit.

See Voltage sag and Fuse (electrical)

Hypernymy and hyponymy

Hypernymy and hyponymy are the semantic relations between a generic term (hypernym) and a specific instance of it (hyponym).

See Voltage sag and Hypernymy and hyponymy

Inrush current

Inrush current, input surge current, or switch-on surge is the maximal instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on.

See Voltage sag and Inrush current

Lightning

Lightning is a natural phenomenon formed by electrostatic discharges through the atmosphere between two electrically charged regions, either both in the atmosphere or one in the atmosphere and one on the ground, temporarily neutralizing these in a near-instantaneous release of an average of between 200 megajoules and 7 gigajoules of energy, depending on the type.

See Voltage sag and Lightning

Overhead power line

An overhead power line is a structure used in electric power transmission and distribution to transmit electrical energy along large distances.

See Voltage sag and Overhead power line

Short circuit

A short circuit (sometimes abbreviated to short or s/c) is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an unintended path with no or very low electrical impedance.

See Voltage sag and Short circuit

Switchgear

In an electric power system, a switchgear is composed of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment.

See Voltage sag and Switchgear

Transformer

In electrical engineering, a transformer is a passive component that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another circuit, or multiple circuits.

See Voltage sag and Transformer

Voltage

Voltage, also known as (electrical) potential difference, electric pressure, or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points.
