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.
The amount of work a surge suppressor can do before it stops protecting the circuit is typically described in joules. This measurement indicates the surge suppressor's energy absorption capacity. Once a surge suppressor reaches its joule rating, it may no longer provide effective protection against power surges.
2,26 Kj are necessary
334 j/g =167000 j
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)
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.

There are many types of lightning protection equipments such as grounding units, surge suppressors, and conductors. If you have electronic equipments, definitely get surge protectors.
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.
46 calories (or 192, 464 joules) for each Celsius degree.
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".
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.
There are five: Payback Surge, Thunder Surge, Fire Surge, Barrier Surge, Vitality Surge.
