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?

What is lightning?

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.

“ 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”

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Do girls ever miss their first love?

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

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

Barnstars:

Thinking from a spiritual perspective, can we say that the journey in recovering from narcissistic abuse a battle of spiritual warfare? Any thoughts on this?

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.

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

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

Why is my ex trying to provoke an argument with me?

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

Montana warns of new disease-carrying tick species in the state - KREM

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

I post the exact comment here.

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.

What are some prime examples of gibberish from the bible?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

Is a man who enjoys anal sex considered a sissy? For those who think so, why can't they be thought of as someone who enjoys a variety of sexual pleasure?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

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

My boyfriend wants to break up over too many petty arguments. To me, they are molehills because I truly love him & don't really think twice about them. If he loved me would he work through it?

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

What can you do if someone makes a false accusation against you?

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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.

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

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.

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

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:

What does a fuse do?

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

so, what happens?

what exactly is 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.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

Upvotes:

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

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

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

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Edit 2024–10.

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