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?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Why is Trump so disliked worldwide?

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

What is your response when someone says "how may I help you"?

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

What's a memory from your childhood that shaped who you are today?

First Sentence:

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

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

Could the guys here tell me how their first experience with a trans woman was? Who was the lady to you? ( I mean girlfriend, one night stand, etc.) I just had my first experience recently and I would like to know about others?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

“ 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”

Do you think all these charges that have been brought against Trump are just a coincidence? If he was such a big threat why did they wait 3 years to bring these charges? Or is this all just election interference?

What is lightning?

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

Why does everyone hate Anthony Joshua so much? I get that he isn’t the best heavyweight boxer ever but people claim he’s a no skill fighter but he has an Olympic gold medal, a world championship, and beat Klitschko, a dominant force in boxing

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Can a meme heal what therapy can't?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

so, what happens?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

Upvotes:

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

He then asserts :

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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