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?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

There are two important concepts here.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Why do some women squirt and some don't?

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

California schools are very liberal. Do you think California schools are teaching students to hate Republican views (views on: God, guns, prayer, secure borders, etc.)?

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

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

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

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Have husbands and wives ever had a threesome with someone in real life? How did it happen?

Upvotes:

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

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

What should every American know before traveling to the UK?

so, what happens?

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Why can’t my wife just accept the fact that I’m going to cheat?

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

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

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

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

How strict are your parents?

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

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.

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

Barnstars:

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.

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

The bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

He then asserts :

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

First Sentence:

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Edit 2024–10.

It’s been three xxx five werks, and there has been no response to my follow on query on his Commment to my answer.

At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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.

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

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

“ 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”

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.
