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?

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

What is lightning?

What does it mean when you dream that your mother died?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

so, what happens?

Why do many people think that Japan is not a gay-friendly country whereas 72% Japanese support same-sex marriage (the same number as in the US)?

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

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

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

Riddle: How do budget cuts, DEI hires, and empty reservoirs, turn the bluest, most Democrat city Red?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

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

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

Do dogs feel love?

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.

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

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.

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).

How does prayer impact those in need? Is there evidence that God intervenes and improves situations based on our prayers, or is it a psychological belief?

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

I post the exact comment here.

Why can't the ISS take a picture of Earth and prove to the Flat Earth Society that Earth is not really flat?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Barnstars:

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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.

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

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

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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

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

“ 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”

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

First Sentence:

He then asserts :

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

Edit 2024–10.

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

What does a fuse do?

Upvotes:

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

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

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

eight

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]

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