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?

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

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

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 can you tell if someone is cunning?

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

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

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

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Humans have evolved and become hairless and odor free. How do other races learn about evolution since evolution does not apply to them?

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

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

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

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

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

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

When was the first time you suck on a penis?

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

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

Why do humans sweat while stressed?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

He then asserts :

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

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

If a person stops thinking one or two words in a second or half second means he had stopped thinking for half second?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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’ ? ”

One

What does a fuse do?

Upvotes:

First Sentence:

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

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

What is lightning?

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

eight

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

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 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”

This one hit behind the barn.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

Barnstars:

so, what happens?

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

I post the exact comment here.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

He then describes the function of a fuse.

nine

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

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