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?

There are two important concepts here.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

What are the differences between fuzzy, intuitionistic, and paraconsistent logic? Which one is considered the most useful and why?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Has a conversation with someone who holds opposing political views ever caused you to change your own beliefs?

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

What have I done wrong? How can I start over?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

“ 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”

Have you ever had sex with your husband's friend in front of your husband? Please tell about it and elaborate.

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

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

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

What are some examples of a threat to democracy in India?

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

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

Can people who have never met you tell if you are a covert narcissist?

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

What is lightning?

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

What are the challenges associated with the birth narratives of Jesus?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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.

Are there many people here who suffer from schizophrenia?

so, what happens?

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.

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

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

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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.

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

He then asserts :

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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

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

Upvotes:

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

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

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

First Sentence:

I post the exact comment here.

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

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Barnstars:

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

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