highly doubtful. the "rays" of radiation would still come in contact with the electrical components. It's not so much a circuit that gets fried in an EMP but the components of the circuit. a Nuc. going off about 200 miles from the surface of the earth could wipe out America, that is equal to about 100,000 volts per square cm of ground. that is needless to say enough to fry any wiring you might have, even if connected to a surge protector.
I suggest building a "faraday cage" around the device you want to protect.
get copper mesh (if you can) or a cheap space blanket. get a box to which you can set the item into (I prefer ones with lids). cover the entire think in the blanket (cut to fit, just make sure it's sealed) attach it (using tape, not staples) then tape a insulated wire to one end, and run the other end to a grounding pole in the earth. this should work. the FEMA building uses the same concept, it has mounds of dirt over the entire building, underneath the dirt is the copper mesh, which grounds to the earth.
What else can I help you with?
Predict whether a fuse will work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect?
A fuse will not work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect.First, it will blow because it has no resistance in series with it. Second, once it blows, the device still has power applied to it. Fuses must be wired in series.
What is the function of electric circuit control device?
An electric circuit control device is used to regulate and manage the flow of electricity within a circuit. It can turn the circuit on or off, adjust voltage levels, and protect against overloads or short circuits. These devices help ensure safe and efficient operation of electrical equipment.
What device protects system against lightning strikes but does not protect against Sags and brownouts?
It's true that a surge protector would protect against surges like those caused by lightning strikes but would do nothing to help with sags and brownouts. To address both high voltage (surges) and low voltage (brownouts) you would need an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). A UPS provides clean current by powering your computer from the battery while simultaneously charging the battery from the electrical supply.
When installing a circuit breaker do you size the breaker to correct wire size or the device its controlling?
When installing a circuit breaker, you size the breaker based on the wire size. The breaker should be matched to the ampacity of the wire to ensure proper protection against overloads and short circuits. The device being controlled by the breaker is not a determining factor in sizing the breaker.
Does surge protectors protect against electrical fires?
surge protector designed to protect electrical devices from voltage spike. A surge protector attempts to regulate the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or by shorting to ground voltages above a safe threshold.
What device protect a system against blackouts?
The UPS
What device can help protect against temporary above-normal voltages?
power strip
What is enterprise activation mean on blackberry?
Enterprise Activation enables the user's blackberry device to communicate with his corporate email infrastructure securely. Once the Enterprise Activation is complted, they device users will be able to send/recieve his corporate ( company / office ) emails from his device. In simple terms, enterprise activation set's up a user's Blackberry device for use with his enterprise network.
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 is a radio fuse?
An electrical device used to protect electronic devices against power fluctuations against power surges by tripping or blowing before those devices can be damaged. They are a very low cost insurance policy built in to equipment to protect it against costly damage.
What device protects a system against lightening strikes but does not protect against sags and brownouts?
A surge protector protects a system against lightening strikes but not against sags or blackouts. Line conditioners also called power conditioners protect your computer against sags and brownouts. The UPS protects your computer against blackouts ~TiffyQT
What does a backflow preventer do to protect against contamination in a plumbing system?
A backflow preventer is a device that stops water from flowing back into the plumbing system, preventing contamination.

How can you get a remote sensing device to operate box?
Many different types of activation devices are currently available from Heatizon Systems or its dealers. Heatizon Systems offers activation devices that range from simple switches to temperature/moisture sensors, and telephone or computer activators. Power requirements for the different devices Heatizon Systems offers vary based upon the device selected. Some devices are battery operated or mechanical, and require no line power at all. Other activation devices operate on 120/240VAC line power or 24VAC. Wiring instructions are included with each activation device that shows the
What is the device will not protect a computer during a blackout?
Anything that is not a UPS will not protect a computer during a blackout
