Electrical protection refers to the methods and devices used to safeguard electrical systems and equipment from faults, overloads, and short circuits. These protective measures help prevent damage to electrical components and reduce the risk of electrical fires or shocks. Common devices include circuit breakers, fuses, and surge protectors, which automatically disconnect power when a fault is detected. In addition to devices, proper design and installation practices are essential for effective electrical protection. This includes using appropriate wire sizes, grounding systems, and protective relays. Together, these elements ensure the safety and reliability of electrical systems in homes, businesses, and industrial settings.
