What else can I help you with?
What unit or measurement is used to describe the amount of work a surge suppressor can do before it stops protecting the circuit?
Depends on a type of protector. Some protectors work by absorbing energy. These might be rated in joules (pronounced 'jewel'). Are typically hundreds or a few thousand joules. Another protector for all types of surges works differently. It is measured in amps. For example a typically destructive surge (lightning is one example) might be 20,000 amps. So a 'whole house' protector is minimally 50,000 amps. Protector must not stop working. If properly sized, it only degrades. Protector that is grossly undersized stops working in a manner that violated the manufacturer's specifications. And that is a potential fire. A typically destructive surge can be hundred of thousands of joules. What does that do to the first type protector that must somehow absorb that energy? Two type protectors. One rated in joules. The other in amps.
How many joules are in the newpoint surge protector 330V E87630?
The number of joules in a surge protector is a measure of its energy absorption capacity, not its voltage rating. In order to determine the joules rating of the Newpoint Surge Protector model E87630, you would need to refer to the product specifications or documentation provided by the manufacturer.
How many things can you plug into a surge protector at the same time?
One can find surge protectors with up to 12 outlets, though the most common type has only 6 available outlets. Technically, a protector with 12 outlets can have up to 12 things plugged in at once though this could create a safety hazard if the system can not handle that much.
How do you determine how many amps a battery can handle under continuous conditions?
To determine how many amps a battery can handle, this information should be on the battery itself. You can also get a battery tester to determine amperage.
How Many Amps Can a 30 Amp Circuit Handle?
A 30 amp circuit can handle a maximum of 30 amps of current flow continuously without tripping the circuit breaker. It is important not to exceed this amperage to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.

How many amps is 8 gauge wire 12 volts DC good for?
Generally 40 amps continuous or 50 amps surge is safe.
How many amps will 4 gauge wire handle?
The amps that a four gauge wire will handle will depend with the thickness of the wire. If the wire is thin, the four gauge will handle 95 amps.
How many amps can a 18 gauge wire handle?
An 18 gauge wire can typically handle around 16 amps of electrical current.
How many amps can an 18 gauge wire handle?
An 18 gauge wire can typically handle around 16 amps of electrical current.
How many amps can a 14 gauge wire handle?
A 14 gauge wire can typically handle up to 15 amps of electrical current.
How many joules in a surge protector are needed for a 10000 btu air conditioner to function safely.?
The joules rating of a surge protector for a 10,000 BTU air conditioner typically depends on the unit's power requirements and potential surge risks. Generally, a surge protector with a rating of at least 1,500 to 3,000 joules is recommended to adequately protect the air conditioner from voltage spikes. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for your specific model to ensure optimal protection.
What unit of measure is used to describe the amount of work a surge suppressor can do before it stops protecting from electrical surge?
There are 3 items that can be used for surge suppression measurements. Most of the plug in strips use Joules as a measure but this can be very misleading. Joules is a measure of energy. Energy is current (amps) times voltage (volts) times time (seconds) or E=I*V*t. Voltage during a surge is critical in determining if downstream equipment is protected. So low voltage rating are important. Current during a surge is important as this is a measure of how many amps are flowing diverting the surge from the downstream loads. So high surge current rating are important. Time is not generally critical, but is determined by the characteristics of the surge. For standard surge testing, the time is identical for the same waveshape. So Joules appears useful at first glance because it incorporates voltage and current in one measure. However, one can increase the joule rating by increasing the voltage (bad) while decreasing the current (also bad). Joules can also be manipulated by using waveforms that are not standardly used in the industry. So rather than use Joules, it is much better to look at the voltage during a surge and the maximum surge current a product uses and ensure the testing is with a recognized standard surge waveform.

How many amps will a 10 kva transformer handle?
It depends on how many amps it was designed for. A 12.5kV/600v 10kVA 3 phase transformer can handle ~.5 amps on the primary and ~10A on the secondary. A 600/120V 10kVA 3 phase transformer can handle ~10A on the primary and ~50 on the secondary.
