corrections needed

Postby duckula » March 21st, 2011, 6:46 pm

I'm trying to translate a paragraph, which was written in Chinese, into English. Please correct me if you find anything wrong or anything unnatural in my translation. Here's my try:

"A MOV (a.k.a metal oxide varistors) is normally located after a fuse. It is placed between the live wire and GND. When the input voltage is lower than a MOV's maximum allowed voltage, the MOV presents high resistance. Thus the live wire and GND are considered open circuit. Once the input voltage is temporaryly higher than its maximum allowance, it turns to low resistance. Thus the live wire and GND are shorted. Then the harmful currents are directed to GND. However, if the input voltage is sustained higher than the Max allowed voltage of a MOV, the MOV will burn and therefore protect the capacitors come after it. "
Please feel free to point out any mistakes in my messages. That will be helpful for me to make less mistakes in the future. :-)
Any help will be appreciated.:thnx:

than a MOV's maximum allowed voltage, the MOV

this is wrong. you need to either use A or THE, you cant use both in the same sentece.

other than that, you did a good job! :lol2:
