    The document defines several electrical terms: Isolation refers to shutting off the supply to an electrical system to allow for maintenance. Earthing connects equipment to earth via cable or pipe to provide a safe path for current in fault conditions. Reduced low voltage uses a transformer to step down mains voltage to safer levels like 110 or 55 volts. Overcurrent protection prevents excess current flow under faults using fuses or circuit breakers to cut the supply.

    ELECTRICAL TERMS

    EXPLANATIONS
    1. ISOLATION
    Shutting off supply to item or part of
    electrical system and preventing
    inadvertent reconnection in order for
    instance to carry out maintenance
    work
    2. EARTHING
    Earthed by cable or metal pipe work
    such that the route to earth provides
    path of least resistance to a current
    flowing under fault conditions
    3. REDUCED LOW VOLTAGE
    Reduction of mains voltage using a
    transformer to a lower safer voltage
    typically 110 or 55 volts
    OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
    Method of preventing flow of excess current by
    cutting supply under fault conditions using a fuse
    or circuit breaker
