IEC defines a SELV system as "an electrical system in which the voltage cannot exceed ELV under normal conditions, and under single-fault conditions, including earth faults in other circuits".

The term is used to describe the separation of two mutually insoluble liquids, usually oil and water, while removing any solids present at the same time.

In nuclear physics, separation energy is the energy needed to remove one nucleon (or other specified particle or particles) from an atomic nucleus.

The amount of separation done by an enrichment process – is a function of the concentrations of the feedstock, the enriched output, and the depleted tailings; and is expressed in units which are so calculated as to be proportional to the total input and to the mass processed.

The separator consists of a frame, an electric motor drive and a vertical shaft on the top of which the bowl assembly is mounted.

Series circuits are sometimes referred to as current-coupled or daisy chain-coupled.
