Which of the following defines the voltage at which a surge suppressor begins to protect the circuit?
  1. Clamping voltage
  2. Protection voltage
  3. Suppressing voltage
  4. Surge voltage
Explanation
Answer - A - Clamping voltage is the voltage at which a surge suppressor begins to protect the circuit.

Key Takeaway: It is also known as known as the let-through voltage. This voltage specifies the voltage at which the metal oxide varistors inside a protector conduct electricity to the ground line. A lower clamping voltage indicates better protection, but a shorter life expectancy.
