    Question

    Which of the following acts as a protection from high voltage surges?

    A.

    Breather

    B.

    Thermal over load relay

    C.

    Horn gaps

    D.

    Conservator

    Correct option is C


    Horn gaps acts as a protection from high voltage surges.

    Horn gaps are a type of protective device used in electrical systems to safeguard equipment from high voltage surges. They consist of two horn-shaped electrodes arranged with a gap between them. When a high voltage surge occurs, the gap allows an arc to form, safely discharging the excess energy and protecting the equipment.
    Breather – Used in transformers to prevent moisture from entering through the conservator. It does not provide protection from high voltage surges.
    Thermal overload relay – Protects electrical equipment from overheating due to overcurrent, not high voltage surges.
    Conservator – A component of a transformer that maintains oil levels; it does not protect from voltage surges.
