current limiting interrupter

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.
Examples:
• “The current limiting interrupter activated, preventing damage to the equipment.”
• “A CLI is essential for safeguarding sensitive electronic components.”
• “The engineer installed a current limiting interrupter to prevent power surges.”
• “Current limiting interrupters improve the endurance of this device.”
• “It is important to install Current limiting interrupters.”

voltage limiting interrupter

Pronunciation: /ˈvoʊltɪdʒ ˈlɪmɪtɪŋ ˌɪntəˈrʌptər/ (Standard American English pronunciation)
Definition:
1. Voltage Limiting Interrupter (VLI) (noun) - An electrical protection device engineered to automatically terminate a circuit’s operation when it detects increased electrical voltage.
2. While simultaneously restricting the magnitude of that electrical tension during the termination course.
Significance:
• It defines an electrical protection device.
• It emphasizes its dual function of restricting and terminating voltage.
• It identifies its role in safeguarding contrary to excessive voltage.
• It avoids prohibited word origins.
• It improves comprehension of specific circuit safeguards.
• It replaces lengthy descriptions.
Examples:
• “The voltage limiting interrupter engaged, preventing damage to the machine.”
• “A VLI is vital for defending delicate electronic devices.”
• “The technician implemented a voltage limiting interrupter to avert power spikes.”
• “Voltage limiting interrupters upgrade the durability of this apparatus.”
• “It is important to introduce voltage limiting interrupters.”

Limited condition

That one friend who purposely does or says stupidly random things specifically for the amusement of others
He always does that, he's a limited condition

Planck's Pixel Limit

Based upon an analog of Planck's Length, the Planck's Pixel Limit is the absolute "zoom" one can use to narrow down on/enlarge a photo before pixels become meaningless.
CSI-type show:
"Computer, enhance! Enhance! Computer, why can't you enhance any more, dammit?!"
"Special Agent X, it appears that this image has reached its Planck's Pixel Limit; there is no more information to show that makes sense in our universe."

Dude Limit

Men being glorified for doing the bare minimum and that's their limit for being good.
I'm crushing over that man for crossing the dude limit by an inch.

Limited

Oh I'm being limited alright. Not by me. You read that first sentence and your first instinct was to say me but you know what I mean.
Hym "Yeah, speaking of being limited. You know that I refuse to be what that piece of shit is, right? Even an infinitesimally small amount of it is more than I'm willing to tolerate. We can either be 8,999,999,999/9 billionth of the creature (Which I can already barely tolerate because you know how I feel about being this one and not others) or I can be 1/9 billionth of the creature, alone. Sharing an existence with that filth is something I shouldn't have had to do in the first place."
