British surge protection plugs.
Added 2019-10-17 03:52:27 +0000 UTCI'm not sure I've actually ever seen one of these in use, but thought I'd get some for us to take a look at.
It's quite a clever design in the way it's been implemented with some existing parts.

Both picture and sound are excellent for me on a 55" Samsung TV with soundbar and subwoofer. 👍🏻
2019-10-18 18:51:53 +0000 UTCSomeone mentioned above that the D is the standard transient resilience and the K is 10% tolerance.

2019-10-18 12:40:43 +0000 UTC...so what do the D and the K stand for? I know this isn't the questions and answers post, but the question has been begged and I'm still not 100% certain myself... The little bit of research I did uncovered this from the folks at littlefuse; however, I'm lead to believe that different brands may use different methods of identification: https://www.littelfuse.com/~/media/electronics_technical/application_notes/varistors/littelfuse_the_abcs_of_movs_application_note.pdf

2019-10-18 10:09:35 +0000 UTCI'm going to upgrade to a newer phone with faster processor and hopefully better camera, although the MotoG series are going to be a hard act to follow.

2019-10-18 02:12:07 +0000 UTCMy $0.02 on this camera: sound is good. Video is oversaturated, poor white balance (too warm), and seems fuzzy.

2019-10-17 23:35:11 +0000 UTCIt's maybe a good idea to routinely change them if you feel they are a benefit. The MOVs do degrade over time depending on how many spikes they suppress and there is no real visual indication until they finally fail. If they're an older and often better quality unit then it's viable to swap out the MOVs for new ones bought from a reputable source.

2019-10-17 17:11:44 +0000 UTCI have a couple of the older generation versions in use . 1 on a pc and the other on the tv. It was a long time ago that I took one apart just for a looksee inside and not a lot has changed. I think I should maybe change them out becuase they are over 20 years old but do no show signs of activation or having blown past their usage.

2019-10-17 13:14:00 +0000 UTCD is diameter and K is 10% voltage tolerance. I didn't know, I just looked it up.

2019-10-17 05:00:18 +0000 UTCThe D and K are as follows: Type: D - Standard E - High Energy Tolerance: J +/- 5% K +/- 10% M +/- 20%

2019-10-17 04:51:38 +0000 UTCIs it possible to test it? See if it does what it says?
