Electrical discrimination is when a smaller circuit breaker (fuse) located closer to an electrical fault, operates before a bigger circuit breaker which is further away from the fault. This then stops disruption to other circuits by knocking out the fuse which not only knocks out the fault, but all the other circuits with no faults on them.

What is discrimination factor of electrical circuit protection?
Electrical discrimination is to do with selecting the correct protection in the fault path of an electrical circuit. To illustrate, if you have a machine at the end of an electircal circuit and that is protected by a 13A fuse lets say, and then you have a 20A circuit breaker protecting that at the consumer unit (fuse board), and then the main switch on the consumer unit is a 10A circuit breaker, then every time the machine uses more than 10A of power the main switch will trip and disconnect everything connected to it, that is where discrimination is not achieved. Basically it is where the circuit protection closest to the macine is smaller and it gets bigger as it goes boack to the source, then discimination is achieved. I hope that helps. If not then it probably need a drawing to help answer.
Difference between discrimination and classification in datamining?
There is only a slight difference between discrimination and classification in data mining. Discrimination can be negative and classification is generally just factual.
Can an electrical starter turn without electricity?
No, an electrical starter can not turn without an electrical source.
How does a pressure to current converter works?
An electrical circuit is an example of an electrical pressure to electrical current convertor.
What are the types of transducers?
Sound -> Electrical (microphones)Force -> Electrical (Load Cells)Kinetic -> Electrical (piezoelectric, generators)Light -> Electrical (solar panels)Thermal -> Electrical (thermocouple)Electrical -> Kinetic (Motors)Electrical -> Magnetic (electromagnets)Electrical -> Optical (lightbulbs, LEDs)Electrical -> Thermal (heaters)Electrical -> Audio (speakers)*(see the related link below for more information)A device that converts variations in a physical quantity, such as pressure or brightness, into an electrical signal, or vice versa.
