This name probably comes from engineers working on electrical installations such as railways. If it becomes apparent or suspected, that the line they are working on has become live, a quick and easy way to make it safe, is to throw a crowbar across the live terminals. This will cause an immediate short circuit, blowing a breaker or fuse. A large metal object such as a crowbar, would be to hand and ideal for making such a short circuit.
Crowbar protection is 'brute force' way of making a circuit safe. Instead of breaking a circuit, it deliberately causes an overload, in order to trip a safety device futher down the line.

What is a combination circuit?
It was mentioned that there are two different ways to connect two or more electrical devices together in a circuit. They can be connected by means of series connections or by means of parallel connections. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by series connections, then the circuit is referred to as a series circuit. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by parallel connections, then the circuit is referred to as a parallel circuit. A third type of circuit involves the dual use of series and parallel connections in a circuit; such circuits are referred to as compound circuits or combination circuits. The circuit depicted at the right is an example of the use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuitBy EngineerMuhammad Zaheer Meer GMS
What is the definition of applied voltage?
Any voltage that is fed into or "applied" to an electrical circuit is referred to as an "applied voltage".
Why scr is used in ac or dc voltage regulator?
The only use of an SCR in a powersupply regulator that I know of is a Crowbar protection circuit to force the breaker to pop if the regulation fails and the powersupply output voltage rises too high.
What is ac ground?
If a circuit is grounded through a capacitor it is referred to as AC ground because ac signal can pass through the capacitor DC level is blocked
What is an electric circuit that controls another electric circuit through a relay?
Remote-Control Circuit. Any electrical circuit that controlsany other circuit through a relay or an equivalent device.
What is it called to open a lock with a crowbar?
It means that it will take a LOT of effort.
Does a crowbar change force?
A crowbar changes force whenever you lift the crowbar handles up and then put the crowbar handles back to the ground!!!!!
How does a crowbar changes force?
A crowbar changes force whenever you lift the crowbar handles up and then put the crowbar handles back to the ground!!!!!
What is crowbar?
Crowbar is used to break the soil.
A circuit that has more than one closed path for current to follow is referred to as a?
logic circuit
Is a map of a circuit a volt?
A map of a circuit is not a volt. A map of a circuit is referred to as a schematics chart. The schematics chart details the path of the circuit, from beginning to end.

When was Jackdaw with Crowbar created?
Jackdaw with Crowbar was created in 1986.
How do you use crowbar in a sentence?
Please hand me that crowbar.Drop the crowbar on your own foot next time!A crowbar is perfect for this task.
In a parallel circuit a parallel branch is uaually called a what?
It's usually referred to as one leg of the circuit.
When there is a break in the wire this is often referred to as?
When there is a break in the wire, it is often referred to as an open circuit. This means that the pathway for electrical current flow is interrupted, preventing the current from completing its circuit.
