I have a Zenith SR2568 TV that has a device near where the power cord
connects to the PWB. It is thin (1/4"), and is something like 1 1/2h x
2 inches wide. It appears to contain brass inside the plastic cover
with gaps of about 1/8 inch, each terminal connecting to line, neutral,
and chassis ground. From what I see, it looks like it might be a spark
gap of sorts for line surges since it is connected to the inputs.
Is that what this is, and is it REALLY effective?? I would think the
voltage on the line would be so great everything would be destroyed by
the time the gap was crossed? Thanks.
I do not currently have any problems with the set, just curious.
