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?

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.

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.

Why are so many young teenage boys misogynistic? Where do they get these attitudes from?

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

Have you ever had sex with sisters?

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

How is it, in the USA, a country with 334 million people, the choice of President comes down to two aged men, one of whom is a liar as well as a criminal, one who appears to be on his way to dementia. Surely a democratic country can put up better?

“ 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 other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Are there legal obligations to report the known whereabouts of a missing person that doesn’t want to be found?

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

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

What does a fuse do?

My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

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

Do "flat-earthers" attempt to sail around the world to prove their theory? Would this support their belief in a flat Earth?

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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.

Edit 2024–10.

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

I post the exact comment here.

He then asserts :

First Sentence:

Upvotes:

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

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

One

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

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

What is lightning?

so, what happens?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

nine

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.
