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.
