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.


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 there in 135 calories?

148 calories is 619.6 joules. Since one calorie = 4.18 joules then you multiply that number by 148 and you get 618.64 joules (619 rounded)

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.


How many Joules of protection do you need in a surge suppressor?

A suppressor is rated in joules, and a suppressor is rated as to the amount of joules it can expend before it no longer can work to protect the circuit from the power surge.I think you can find the answer to this question in Dehn-usa.com's "Lightning Protection Guide" or their "ABC's of Lightning". I put the link under the related links below.

What is a surge strip?

A surge strip is an electrical device that protects your valuable electronics from dangerous power surges, spikes, and overloads. However, many surge strips they have in production today does not support protection against power spurts.


What power company provides surge protection service for homes?

There are many Electric Utilities throughout the United States that offer Surge Protection to their customers or at the very least can recommend a reputable company to refer you to. You can usely find out this information by going to your Electric Utility's web site. Most Utilities will list their Surge Protection Programs under either "Products and Services" or "Member Services".


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.


What are the key features to consider when purchasing a spike buster for electrical protection?

When purchasing a spike buster for electrical protection, key features to consider include surge protection rating, number of outlets, cord length, and warranty. Surge protection rating indicates the level of protection against power surges. The number of outlets determines how many devices can be connected. A longer cord provides flexibility in placement. A warranty ensures protection against defects.
