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?

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

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

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

Should India conduct another air strike to attack Pakistan over the Pahalgam attack?

What is lightning?

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.

How has Sanskrit influenced modern Tamil language, particularly in terms of vocabulary?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

“ 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”

Why do companies cull employees during financial downturns without saying so?

What does a fuse do?

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.

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.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

so, what happens?

Why do women wear less clothes compared to men?

There are two important concepts here.

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

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.

I post the exact comment here.

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

Does the potential of making Star Wars R-rated movies depend on whether Star Wars have stories that is too dark for PG 13 in Disney?

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

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.

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

Do humans know everything they need to know?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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.

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

Why do black people prefer thick, curvy women?

This device then solves the entire problem.

First Sentence:

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Can you explain the difference between fissionable and fissile materials and their role in nuclear power reactors?

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

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

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

How do you respond to "I don't like you anymore"?

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

He then asserts :

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

Why do so many men wait until they are retired or close to it to start having sex with Men? Most of them say they have always wanted to suck dick or be fucked. Why did you wait?

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

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

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.

My husband asked me why do I keep on complaining about him cheating. Why don't I just leave?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

eight

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

Upvotes:

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

He then describes the function of a fuse.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

[image of Common-mode choke]

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.
