What exactly is the difference between a surge protector and a fuse? Can a fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of surge protector?

Barnstars:

so, what happens?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Is Melania still angry that she failed as a model? Why is she so cold and hostile? Why did she blame everyone for her actions in her trite book?

Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.

This is an electronic circuit designed to clamp voltages so that the Voltage Potential that appears at the outlet is never going to exceed the nominal value.

It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.

What are some sex stories from your college days?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

If the nominal power is 4,000 watts then the current at 230volts is 16 amps.

P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.

This is a photo where a lightning bolt took out a home's complete mains distribution box, and a lot of electronic gear as well.

One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”

What should I do if I love someone who does not love me?

There is no harm in having the surge suppressor along with the fuse in the circuit. The fuse will not open up until the current melts the link. This will take time, and in the interim, that jolt will get transmitted into the power supplies.

but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.

Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.

And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.

Why do foolish atheists think their strange delusional theories are facts?

Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.

So, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.

“ A surge suppressor is the one which is connected at the input supply so that when there is a sudden change voltage it bypasses thereby protecting the (circuit) and electronic components”

For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).

What is the most popular song that includes the word "you"? Are there any other songs that use "you" multiple times?

So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.

Why do people keep saying they have evidence and have presented it that proves you're wrong even though they have none and haven't presented anything? Furthermore, what do they think you're wrong about?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

At the secondary, it is 1000 times less.)turns ratio). If it gets hit with a 100,000 volt bolt of lightning then the voltage arrestors conduct and clamp the voltage down to line voltage, ( but a small amount leaks down the line). This is the problem.

These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.

OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.

This device then solves the entire problem.

This is a high voltage low current spike that comes down the line because of the power poles being struck, and the voltage suppressors activating on the primary side of the transformer.

This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.

An AC voltage/ current source, and an ac inductive load.

Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.

This one hit behind the barn.

This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.

What does a fuse do?

But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).

It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Lightning arrestor is a spark-gap device, and can be installed anywhere. What is important, is that the wire is thick enough to withstand the lightning bolt and conduct the energy away from the building.

Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".

When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.

First Sentence:

So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.

These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.

Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.

the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".

“ … to protect building, lightning arrestor, is provided above building and directly connected to earth.”

What is lightning?

Once the voltage goes over 0.0650 volts, then this fact can be used to amplify the difference, and turn the circuit breaker off , furthur down the line. Essentially that is what a RCD/GFCI does, it compares the incoming current, to the outgoing current, and if the difference between the two currents is over 5mA, then it trips the circuit breaker.

“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”

This is the picture of an electronic coil of wire wound around a core of magnetic material.

There are two important concepts here.

The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”

I post the exact comment here.

so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.

(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
