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?

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.

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

If a guy is attracting a bunch of what he believes to be "ugly" women, is he crushing the dating game?

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

What is one thing you've learned from life?

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

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

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

What parts of the Bible, if any, are inappropriate to read to children? Why?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

“ 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”

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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?”

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

so, what happens?

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.

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.

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

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

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

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.

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

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

What are the legal obligations of a new homeowner if the previous owner leaves furniture in the house after moving out?

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

He then asserts :

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.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Barnstars:

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

What does a fuse do?

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

What is lightning?

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.

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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