Why armouing is not done in single core cable?
On the contrary, armouring is common on single-core conductors. Frequently, high-voltage underground cables are made up of three, individual, single-core, line conductors. These are most definitely armoured to protect them against penetration by the trench backfill and to protect workers who may accidentally hit them with tools.
What can protect a computer from problems caused by a change in power?
A surge suppressor will protect against transient high voltage surges.A ferroresonant transformer will protect against transient low voltage brownouts.A uninterruptable power supply will protect against power failures of several minutes duration.
What does safety systems protect windmills from?
Safety systems for windmills are designed to protect them from various potential risks. These include lightning strikes, strong winds, and overspeeding during storms. Additionally, safety systems also monitor and control the temperature of critical components to prevent overheating, which can lead to fires or damage to the windmill.

Why do churches need lightning conductors?
Lightning conductors or rods, protect a building from lightning hits by harmlessly draining of the electrical charge thereby preventing fire or other damage. Churches with steeples that tower over surrounding buildings and trees would be especially likely to attract lightning.

What is Lightning arrestor?
A device, composed of sharp points and/or knife edges, that discharges powerline overvoltages to ground. The term lightning arrestor is a misnomer, as these devices cannot protect against a direct strike to the powerline!
Will a fuse protect your television?
A fuse cannot protect 100% of the time against every possible event. It protects conductors and appliances from over currents in excess of the fuse's rating and that is all. It will not protect against a nearby lighting strike. It will not protect your TV's more sensitive components if protection built into the TV fails.
