faultprotection
Fault protection, sometimes written as faultprotection, is a broad term for the set of measures intended to prevent, detect, isolate, and mitigate the effects of faults in a system. Its goals are to preserve safety, protect assets, maintain functional integrity, and minimize downtime when faults occur. Fault protection spans electrical, mechanical, software, and networking domains.
In electrical installations, fault protection relies on devices such as fuses, circuit breakers, and residual current
In computing and control systems, fault protection includes error detection and correction, memory protection, and watchdog
Industrial networks implement isolation, redundancy, and fault containment to prevent propagation. Techniques include failover routing, network
Design practice emphasizes risk assessment, fail-safe principles, regular testing, and maintenance. Fault protection differs from fault
