Pronunciation: /ˈkɜ rənt ˈlɪmɪtɪŋ ˌɪntəˈrʌptər/ (Standard American English pronunciation)
Definition:
Current Limiting Interrupter (CLI) (noun) - It is an electrical protection device designed to automatically terminate a circuit’s conduction upon detecting an excessive electrical flow while also restricting the magnitude of that electrical flow during the termination sequence.
Significance:
• It defines a type of electrical protection device.
• It emphasizes its function of both limiting and interrupting the electrical flow.
• It identifies the protection it provides contrary to excessive current.
• It avoids the use of prohibited origins within possible definition parameters.
• It improves comprehension of this specific type of circuit protection.
• It replaces more verbose descriptions of the device.

Get the Limit Upmug. This phrase indicates a “woke” instagram account with zero basis in reality. Their post likely lack any factual or logical basis and therefore can’t stand up to any outside criticism or commentary. The phrase is used to reassure viewers that their echo chamber is safe from *trigger warning* outside penetration.
My fish Josh identifies as a guppy. Doctors assigned him shark at birth, but he has had numerous experimental surgeries to affirm his identity as a guppy. We’ve had issues with other fishes swimming into Josh’s stomach and sometimes people get micro aggressive about it - therefore Josh has decided up protect fishself and Comments on this post have been limited.
