The maximum amount of voltage that a surge protector will allow through itself before it will suppress the power surge. When the device reaches its clamping voltage, it blocks any further current from flowing through the device and into a computer system or other electronic device.

Another term for potential difference is?
voltage
What is needed to calculate the voltage across a device?
you calculate a voltage circuit by taking it apart and findng the circuit and calculate the voltage and then resible it.
How do electron flow in an electric circuit in terms of voltage difference?
Electrons are negatively charged particles. When a voltage difference exists, electrons are repelled from the more negative (or less positive) voltage toward the more positive voltage. If they are in a material which allows conduction of electricity, then the electrons will flow toward the more positive voltage.
What is a voltmeter used for in a science laboratory?
TO BE SPECIFIC --- RMS VOLTAGE ONLY Note to orignal answerer: RMS voltage is not the only voltage form that can be measured. Depending on the design a Voltmeter can give an output in terms of peak to peak voltage and also can be used to measure a DC voltage, both of which are very different measurements to an RMS voltage
Voltage is measured in what unit?
This unit is called volts.
Is the voltage point at which a suppressor begins to absorb or block voltage?
Clamping Voltage
What is diode clamping?
There are a couple types of diode clamping-- A P-N diode was often used for clamping coils of relays that produce high voltages when the relays is de-energized. Bidirectional zeners are now the best solution. Diode clamping is also a term used to limit voltage excursions generally. Zener diodes are generally used for this purpose.
What does clamping voltage of a metal oxide varistor mean?
Clamping voltage, also referred to as let through voltage or the Voltage Protection Rating (VPR), is the amount of voltage a surge protector permits to pass through it to the attached load (ex: a TV) during a surge event. ----We're JYH HSU(JEC) Electronics Ltd (or Dongguan Zhixu Electronic Co., Ltd.), an electronic components manufacturer. You may google search "JYH HSU" to find our official website.
What is the applicatios and propertyes of diode clamping?
A: T he application are many. Basically it is used to limit and unwanted overshoot of voltage A diode will clamp the voltage or limit the voltage to .7 volts higher and no more.. It can clamp an input clamp negative or positive ringing from a collapsing coil or it can be used to clamp to a voltage.
What is the principle of clamping in jigs and fixtures?
clamp is a holding device. The principle of clamping is " the clamping forceshouldbe strong enough to withstand forces that are caused during machining and clamping force should not be such high that it will damage the work piece".
What is the use of clamping circuits?
Used in applications where it is required to change reference level of input signal to any desired dc voltage level example in analog video processing
Why are clampers known as DC restorers?
A clamping circuit will bind the upper or lower extreme of a waveform to a fixed DC voltage level. These circuits are also known as DC restorers.
Why is car clamping good?
It isn't!
When riding a horse is clamping good?
NOOOO!
What are reasons someone might need to use a clamping knob?
Reasons someone might need to use a clamping knob include adjusting lobes, knurling, wings and texturing. You can learn more about the various types of clamping knobs online at the Jwwinco website.
Can a Spyder Pilot 2007's feed neck be removed and replaced by a clamping feedneck?
Yes it can, just make sure you have a treaded clamping feed neck
What tool is used for clamping and holding something?
vice
