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?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

How did you as a human being change while growing up?

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

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

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

Why do men like BBW? What is the attraction?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

Why should the law care about what I do behind closed doors?

so, what happens?

He then asserts :

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

What is lightning?

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

What are your political and economic beliefs? How did you form them, especially in comparison to those who hold opposing views?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

First Sentence:

Why did my ex replace me so fast?

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

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.

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

Barnstars:

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

My grandmother deeded me her house before she passed last year. Her son still lives there refusing to move. What steps should I take to have him removed?

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

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 life lesson did you learn the hard way?

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

Upvotes:

There are two important concepts here.

Why was Nietzsche against essentialism?

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

“ 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”

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

eight

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.

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

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

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

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