An Arc Suppressor is a combined Resistive-Capacitive device that is applied across the contacts of a relay or motor-starter to suppress surges on startup or open opening of the contact. This is necessary to absorb the energy potential across the contact and prevent an arc. This prolongs the life of the electrical contact, reduces noise in the circuit, and in some cases may be part of personnel safety. The device must be sized according the potential that might be seen across the contacts.

Why does your Fridge thermostat have a resistor across the terminals?
It doesn't. It has an arc suppressor across them.
What device diverts extra electrical voltage on the line to the ground?
Surge suppressor
How do you calculate arc length between electrode and charge in arc furnace?
Arc Length depends on the secondary voltage of furnace transformer. Thumb rule is for 500V the Arc length would be 500mm(20"). The purpose of arc length is to give maximum power to the melt, without arc flare. -
What detemines the intensity of an arc flash?
-- the current in the arc -- your definition of 'intensity'
What is the Arc speed for Shielded Metal Arc welding SMAW?
arc efficiency=heat developed at anode/total heat developed
Why does your Fridge thermostat have a resistor across the terminals?
It doesn't. It has an arc suppressor across them.
How do you make a suppressor on Minecraft?
There is no such thing as a suppressor in Minecraft.
What was the first gun suppressor made of?
The Maxim suppressor was made of steel.
Will an IPSC holster accommodate a suppressor?
In general, no. Will depend on the specific holster AND the specific suppressor.
How do you attach a M16 silencer?
Suppressors (or moderators) may be attacked a number of ways, depending on the design of the suppressor. Some use the same threads which the flash suppressor uses, and require you to remove the flash suppressor first. However, you must also replace the standard crush washer with a peel washer when doing this. Some are designed to work in conjunction with a flash suppressor designed to facilitate the attachment of a sound suppressor.. Advanced Armaments designs come to mind here, with their suppressor-capable versions of the Blackout flash suppressor.
What is the function of suppressur?
Well, a suppressor... suppresses. A flash suppressor reduced muzzle flash. A sound suppressor reduced noise emissions (although nothing like how they're portrayed in the movies).
Can you use a 7.62 suppressor with a 30.06 bullet?
You can use a 7.62 suppressor with a 30.06 bullet as bullets are normally of the same diameter.
Does a suppressor effects the guns range?
No.
How surge suppressor are rated?
In joules
What would one use a Boss Noise Suppressor for?
There are many ways one could potentially use a Boss Noise Suppressor. The Boss Noise Suppressor is most commonly used to reduce noise output from noisy machinery.
What is the purpose of the flash suppressor on the M-4 Carbine?
A flash suppressor is intended to dissipate muzzle flash so as not to hamper the firer's vision in low light conditions. Sometimes, a muzzle brake is mistaken for a flash suppressor. A muzzle brake vents gases from the barrel in a direction intended to counter the recoil of the weapon, thus making it more controllable. However, a flash suppressor does not function as a muzzle brake, nor does a muzzle brake function as a flash suppressor.
Does putting a suppressor on a gun increase fire rate?
Yes, in general a suppressor can increase rate of fire by 50-100 rounds/ minute.
