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%).

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

Who has experienced what they called a happy accident (bestiality)?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

Edit 2024–10.

Why am I so tired of the keto diet?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

Why do men like low maintenance women?

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

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.

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

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.

Why do wokes use words like "homophobes" when they don't know what that means? Do they realize that no one is afraid of them?

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.

I post the exact comment here.

“ 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 British people always write "xxx" after their names?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

Answer me this. These days guys love anal sex right, if you present them with your ass they will happily nail you into the ground. So why do some guys think it's "sissy" to let women stick a finger up their ass?

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

One

My son died seven months ago at the age of 24 how do I know if he’s in heaven and can he see me and hear me and why have I not gotten any signs yet from him or Mom just not seeing the signs how do I know if he’s OK how do I know if he’s happy?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

What is lightning?

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

Have you ever dealt with a Christian narcissist?

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

Why is watching a man and a woman have sex considered perverted? It's how we all got here, it's what we do, I say if you want to watch porn then carry on!

Upvotes:

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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?

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

so, what happens?

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

There are two important concepts here.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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 photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

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

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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.

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

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

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

Barnstars:

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

What does a fuse do?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

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).

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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.

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

eight

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

First Sentence:

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

He then asserts :

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