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?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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.

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

I have a bad reputation and need help. What should I do?

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

What measures are shipping companies taking to navigate around conflict zones like the Red Sea and Black Sea?

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

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

Is it accurate to say that while Donald Trump has "America First" policy, the Democratic Party has "Other nations first" policy?

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

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.

How can you maintain self-control?

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

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

Why is there so much evil in the world?

“ … 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.

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

How has your life changed since starting college?

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Hi, I’m Jo. My best friend died 2 years ago today. My husband died 6 months later. So, I’m a depressed mess (we were married 28 years) and can’t shake it. Even my Brother is worried. Some days I don’t do anything, and avoid men cause I don’t want to date. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading.

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.

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 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”

Can a twin flame runner be happy in a karmic relationship?

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

I post the exact comment here.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge 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.

What does a fuse do?

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?”

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

so, what happens?

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

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

He then asserts :

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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