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.”

The Fallacy Limit

When someone does so many things wrong and backwards that it reaches a critical mass such that it's a mathematical impossibility to point out a single instant of it in time, and it tries to drag everything into its singularity. Also known as "quantum stupidity".

Speed Limit Party

A small to medium sized social gathering where young adult Mormons get together to do bland, morally unambiguous activities such as Go Fish, crocheting, and (as the namesake suggests) driving the speed limit to the local soda jerk.
Katie invited me to hang out on Friday night, but it turned out to be a boring ass speed limit party. We made dirt cups and drank sparkling juice. I felt like I was in kindergarten again.
