a flow of electricity resulted from the movement of electrically charged particles in a direction
corriente
Los paneles solares convierten la luz solar en corriente eléctrica moviendo partículas cargadas dentro de las celdas.
an electric current that reverses direction periodically, typically used in power distribution systems due to its efficiency in long-distance transmission
corriente alterna, CA
La energía generada por la mayoría de los generadores eléctricos, incluidos los de las centrales eléctricas, es en forma de corriente alterna.
an electric current that flows in one direction steadily
corriente continua, CC
a long and thin piece of metal that carries an electric current
cable

subestación, estación transformadora
Una subestación en el distrito industrial regula y distribuye electricidad a varias unidades de fabricación.
a protective device that automatically interrupts the flow of electricity in an electrical circuit when it detects an overload, short circuit, or other electrical fault, thereby preventing damage to the circuit and reducing the risk of electrical hazards
disyuntor, interruptor automático
(electrical engineering) a collection of devices like switches and circuit breakers that control and protect electrical equipment
a solid strip or bar of conductive material that distributes electricity to multiple connected circuits
(electrical engineering) using three alternating currents of the same voltage, each offset by one-third of a cycle
(electrical engineering) using a single alternating current for power distribution, commonly used in residential settings
