A metal oxide varistor (MOV) primarily protects against voltage transients and surges, such as those caused by lightning strikes, power surges, or electrical switching. It operates by clamping excessive voltage levels, thus diverting surge currents away from sensitive electronic components. This helps to prevent damage from overvoltage conditions, ensuring the safety and longevity of electrical devices. Additionally, MOVs can provide protection against transient overvoltages in AC and DC circuits.

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.
What is virestor?
Varistors are often used to protect circuits against excessive transient voltages by incorporating them into the circuit in such a way that, when triggered
High current and low resistance are the conditions for a short is that true?
Yes, that's true. A short circuit occurs when there is a path of low resistance in an electrical circuit, allowing a high current to flow. This can happen when wires accidentally touch or when a component fails, causing excessive current that can lead to overheating and potential damage to the circuit or devices involved. Proper safety measures, such as fuses and circuit breakers, are essential to protect against short circuits.
Why a circuit is protected by a circuit breaker?
1. protection against fire hazard from a short-circuit. A short-circuit can be caused by a loose wire, faulty insulation, or faulty wiring. A short-circuit will cause the wires to heat up rapidly, presenting a fire hazard. 2. protection against circuit overloading. Too much current in a wire caused by overloading (plugging in too many high-power appliances, for example) can cause overheating, presenting a fire hazard. Most circuit breakers have a "slow-blow" mode that breaks the circuit if overload continues for too long. 3. on grounded appliances (which have the third prong on the plug), the ground is connected to all exposed conductive material on the appliance. In the event that a loose wire contacts the exposed metal, a short-circuit will occur, and the power will be cut. This protects against accidental electrocution. Circuit breakers do not protect against fire hazards from inferior gauge of wire, glow-faults, or arc-faults. Most do not protect against electrocution hazards from ground-faults (although some do).

What is a fusible resistor?
A resistor designed to protect a circuit against overload.
Why every electric circuit needs a fuse?
The fuse is designed to protect the circuit under fault conditions to aleviate damage
What do fuses and circuit breakers protect circuits from?
They protect the downstream components from spikes in the eletrical system.CommentFuses and circuit breakers do not protect against 'spikes', which are near-instantaneous voltage increases. Fuses and circuit breakers are overcurrent protection devices, which protect appliances against excessive current due to overloads or short circuits. CommentFuses and circuit breakers are used to protect the wire feeder that supplies the load. A load could be connected to a circuit that would cause an increase of amperage above what the wire is rated for. If this condition happens the fuse or circuit breaker will open the load from the supply service.
The first measure you should take to help prevent damage against electrical problems is to do what to the circuit?
Protect the circuit with an OCPD, an over current protection device, such as a circuit breaker or fuse.

What is varistor and what it do?
A varistor is a "variable resistor". When its value changes it then changes the amount of electricity it drops. Some of the energy goes to do the job; some of the energy is "dumped" out as heat. How about this: the volume control on your radio is a varistor. A dimmer switch on your living room lights is a varistor.
