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 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.

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.

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

Why do Trumpers and MAGA Republicans care who is trans and who is gay ECT? If they didn't have a personal interest in transgenderism it shouldn't matter so much then, right?

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

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.

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

Upvotes:

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

If Trump were to lose in 2024, would that be the end of his grip on the Republican Party?

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

“ 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”

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

How did my ex move on very fast?

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

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Is dating in college necessary? Why and why not?

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.

What's the difference between “ce”, “ça”, and “cela”, and when do I use each (French)?

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

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

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

My son died seven months ago at the age of 24 how do I know if he’s in heaven and can he see me and hear me and why have I not gotten any signs yet from him or Mom just not seeing the signs how do I know if he’s OK how do I know if he’s happy?

There are two important concepts here.

What does a fuse do?

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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

so, what happens?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

First Sentence:

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

He then asserts :

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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

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