Industrial Automation: Control, Switching, and Protection Devices
Automatism is a system that controls a single machine or production process, reducing human intervention. Commonly used devices include sectioning, switching, and protection devices.
Sectioning Devices: These isolate a part of the network electrically for maintenance. Examples include disconnectors, switches, and circuit breakers or contactors.
Switching Devices: These establish or interrupt the power supply to receptors automatically or remotely. Examples include electromagnetic contactors, relays,

Precision Measurement Techniques and Instruments
Interferometry
Interferometry is a measurement technique using light wave interference to measure minute differences in length, displacement, or surface irregularities. It relies on the wave nature of light to produce interference patterns, allowing for extremely precise measurements.
Laser Interferometer
Principle: Laser interferometers use coherent laser light to create an interference pattern, detecting displacement or distance changes with high accuracy.
Working:
- A laser beam is split into two using
