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?

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

“ 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”

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

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

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

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.

Is Twilight appropriate for a 12-year-old?

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

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.

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

When did bestiality first occur to you and how did it happen the first time? Was it a deliberate decision or it just happened and you allowed it?

What does a fuse do?

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.

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

What is the attitude of the Swedish people towards sending soldiers to Ukraine to fight for the freedom of Europe?

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

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.

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

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

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

Why have feminists not demanded that females be required to register with the selective service? Are female lives more precious than male lives?

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

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

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

Does the pro-choice movement realise that all the money used to subside abortions can be used to subsidize daycare and other financial support for single mothers with unplanned pregnancies?

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

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.

Is it wrong that I picked to be a Christian (as a teenager/14-year-old) even with knowing all of the information about other religions/atheism?

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Why did my 2001 4.6 liter Mustang GT V8 make "only" 260 HP while today's base Dodge 3.6 liter V6 churns out almost 300 HP? Both benefit from fuel injection and ECUs.

This device then solves the entire problem.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

“ 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.

This one hit behind the barn.

First Sentence:

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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.

so, what happens?

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

What is lightning?

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

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

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

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.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

He then asserts :

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.

There are two important concepts here.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

Barnstars:

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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