Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
armature current limiting
a condition wherein the stator currents are clamped at the maximum allowable limit due to excessive heating of the stator.
current limiting
the output current is limited to a preset level even under a shorted output condition. This can be accomplished by reducing the output voltage to prevent the current limit from being exceeded.
current limiting fuse
a fuse that limits the level of fault current from that which is available. It operates by developing a substantial voltage across the fuse following the melting of the fuse element.
