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?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

This device then solves the entire problem.

What started the whole idea of femboys? What is the whole point of a femboy? Did a boy or a man just randomly start dressing or acting feminine or something?

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

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

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

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

What do you think about a sister's love?

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

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 other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

so, what happens?

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

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

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

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

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

Why are Republicans so brainwashed and oblivious to the fact that a lot of the price increases going on right now is due to corporate greed, not inflation?

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 does a fuse do?

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

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

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

One

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.

Edit 2024–10.

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

Upvotes:

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

I post the exact comment here.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

First Sentence:

[image of Common-mode choke]

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

He then asserts :

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

Barnstars:

What is lightning?

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

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

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