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?

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

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

The International Boxing Association said that Khelif and Lin competing in Paris Olympics were disqualified from the tournament for testing positive for XY chromosomes which give an unfair advantage in the women’s division. What do you think?

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

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.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

What would Spanish sound like if only latin and Greek words were used, like some romance analogy to anglish?

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

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

Why do I get stressed when I go to bed?

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

What’s a mistake most guys make when trying to get a girlfriend?

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

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

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

How can someone effectively handle a targeted individual?

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

What does a fuse do?

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

Why are people saying that Trump is fat when he is an athletic 6 foot 3 and 215 pounds?

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

“ 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”

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

My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?

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

There are two important concepts here.

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.

Why do I sweat between my legs all the time, top off my legs, all way down?

What is lightning?

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

First Sentence:

If English makes 3 additional gender terms to accommodate for XXX, XXY, and XYY people, what would be the most realistic terms for those genders?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

What are the most meaningful Jewish jokes that reveal insights about Jewish culture?

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.

I post the exact comment here.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

He then asserts :

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

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

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

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

so, what happens?

Edit 2024–10.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

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.

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

Barnstars:

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

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

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

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

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