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?

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

What should every American know before traveling to the UK?

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

so, what happens?

What is the dirtiest thing you have witnessed your wife do?

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

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

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

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

First Sentence:

Pharmacy group withholds endorsing CDC's latest vaccine recommendations - AOL.com

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

What is the irony of life according to you?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

“ 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”

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

So who has worn a cock cage. One of my guy FWBs put one on me last Sunday and left with the keys? I was very nervous at first but have calmed down. Told me he'll unlock it tomorrow.. Let me know.

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

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

What is the best/cute/funny/playful chat/conversation between brother and sister?

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

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

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.

What is the moral stance on lying? Can you provide examples of when it is appropriate or inappropriate to lie? Does the Bible address this issue?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

Why do some men want to have anal sex with women?

What does a fuse do?

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Why are white men so obsessed with Asian women? I'm friends with people from all different backgrounds but I never see my other non-white male friends obsess over or talk about Asian women like I've seen the white ones do.

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?".

Is it common for girlfriends to have close male friends who are single and not related to them?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

He then asserts :

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.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

eight

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

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Upvotes:

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

What is lightning?

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

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

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