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.
