A varistor is an electronic component used for surge suppression. It is also known as a voltage dependent resistor, but it acts more like two zener diodes reversed and placed in parallel. The majority of surge suppression devices use these. However, they don't work all that well for lightning strikes.
Surge suppressor
Surge suppressor, as name suggests suppresses and regulates the voltage and makes the power constant in a case of a spike or surge. While a protector simply detects the surge and turns the unit off. Suppressor is good for things like computers, where you don't want to keep turning on and off.
this is a birectional DILDO/FLASHLIGHT. whenever there is a high surge for your carnel appetite, you can release that energy by using this. it's easy to use and very efficient TOY
The device that you are looking for is called a surge suppressor. It is a small device that can be mounted in one of the knock out holes in the distribution panel. They are a four wire device. It should be connected across a common tie double pole breaker. The two black leads from the suppressor connect to each of the terminals of the two pole breaker. The third white lead connects to the neutral bar of the distribution panel. The forth green wire connects to the ground buss, (not to be confused with the neutral bus). With the breaker turned on it continuously monitors the voltage of the distribution panel and automatically sends power spikes to ground.
You use varistor wich has the max voltage for that aplication example:vacuumcleanermax allowed voltage is 240v ac so you chose aprox. 250 V varistor.

It really does vary as to how much a surge suppressor costs depending on where you buy it from. They usually range from $15 to $25. Here is one site you can buy them: www.tigerdirect.com/.../category_slc.asp?...Surge%20Suppressors

A surge suppressor. Better yet,an UPS (uninterpretable power supply) with a built in surge suppressor.
a surge suppressor or protector protects your equipment from spikes on the electrical line.
the circuitry inside the suppressor that handles a surge can burn out if a surge is too high or lasts too long; in which case the cord would continue to work without surge protection making the connection vulnerable.
There is likely no difference. Neither is accepted terminology for a surge suppressive device (SPD). If these products have been tested by safety organizations such as CSA (Canada) or UL (US) or tested to international surge standards (IEEE, IEC), then they should bare the correct terminology, otherwise, they are not tested to provide protection to equipment during a surge. Surge Absorber acts as a load that utilizes the high current until it exhausts. but the surge suppressor diverts the high current into ground without reaching the sensitive parts of the circuit. Surge absorber degrades faster than a surge suppressor.
Surge suppressor
A surge suppressor or protector is used to protect electronic devices in case of voltage spikes. A surge protector works by limiting the amount of voltage supplied to the plugged in electronic devices by blocking or shorting to ground any voltage above the safe threshold.
A surge protector, also called a surge suppressor.
