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.

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

Why do we still feel attached or jealous when a covert narcissist moves on, even after realizing their toxicity and the suffering they caused?

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

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.

Why am I losing interest to get a job and to all my desires because of this spiritual awakening? How do I get through life because of it?

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

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.

I can’t get any girl I want, but I can just get some not my type of girls, so I feel I’m so ugly. What should I do?

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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.

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

Can you share any "backstage pass" experiences you have had at concerts?

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

“ 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”

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Why do Brits drive a lot more dangerously compared to Americans? Is there just no courtesy when driving in the UK?

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

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

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Barnstars:

Why can't flat-Earthers create an agency like NASA to explore Earth to prove it is flat? What's preventing them from doing so?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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.

What is your juiciest sex story?

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

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

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

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

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.

First Sentence:

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

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

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

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

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

so, what happens?

There are two important concepts here.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

I post the exact comment here.

One

This device then solves the entire problem.

What is lightning?

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

He then asserts :

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?”

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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