What else can I help you with?
The first measure you should take to help prevent damage against electrical problems?
A surge suppressor. Better yet,an UPS (uninterpretable power supply) with a built in surge suppressor.
Uses of surge suppressor in computer construction?
Surge suppressors are usually used at the input from the power supply, to reduce the power spikes that occur in mains electricity. They won't do the job completely though, and it's recommended that people use external surge protectors for better defence against these unwanted fluctuations.
Is it safe to plug an air conditioner to a computer surge protector?
It will very likely damage the surge protector
How do computer users protect their computers from too much electricity?
To protect a computer completely from electrical problems you would have to keep it unplugged. Unfortunately this makes it useless. Using surge protection on the power supply is a simple and relatively cheap protection from spikes in the power supply. A UPS or uninteruptible power supply can be set up to allow the computer to run for a period of time after a breakdown in the power supply. These are more expensive the longer they can supply power, and are often set up to supply power for just long enough to do a save and tidy shutdown of the computer.
What should they buy to protect their computer during future lightning storms power surge circuit board ground wiresurge protector?
A surge protector
How surge suppressor are rated?
In joules
How much is a surge suppressor?
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
What is the purpose of a surge suppressor and how does it protect electronic devices from power surges?
A surge suppressor is designed to protect electronic devices from power surges by diverting excess voltage away from the devices. It acts as a barrier between the device and the electrical outlet, absorbing or redirecting the extra voltage to prevent damage to the device.
What is the purpose of a surge suppressor breaker and how does it protect electrical devices from power surges?
A surge suppressor breaker is designed to protect electrical devices from power surges by diverting excess voltage away from the devices. It acts as a barrier between the electrical outlet and the devices, preventing high voltage spikes from reaching and damaging them.
Surge suppressor size for a pellet stove?
1000 j
The first measure you should take to help prevent damage against electrical problems?
A surge suppressor. Better yet,an UPS (uninterpretable power supply) with a built in surge suppressor.
Why is it important to have an indicate light on a surge suppressor?
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.
Is a surge protector used for electrical fouls?
a surge suppressor or protector protects your equipment from spikes on the electrical line.
What is difference between surge absorber and surge suppressor?
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.
What device diverts extra electrical voltage on the line to the ground?
Surge suppressor
What device protects a system against lighting strikes but does not protect against sags and brownouts?
A surge protector, also called a surge suppressor.
What unit of measurement is used to describe the amount of work a surge suppressor can do before it stops protecting the circuit form an electrical surge?
joules
