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?

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

If you lived in South Africa, would you support nuclear power as a solution to the country's energy woes?

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

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

“ 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”

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

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

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.

How quickly can you gain muscle by only consuming milk and chicken breasts, without using any supplements such as creatine or whey isolate?

He then asserts :

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

How will Israelis respond to someone claiming that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, in the same way as anti-feminism not being misogyny and opposing same-sex marriage not being homophobia?

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.

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

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

Why do people hate Nickelback so much? What makes them different from other popular bands like Linkin Park, Green Day, etc.? Is it just because they're Canadian or what?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

What does a fuse do?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

I post the exact comment here.

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.

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

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

Is the Las Vegas Grand Prix considered one of the "premier events on the Formula 1 calendar?"

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

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

Could humans be selectively bred, like dogs, to create 2 subspecies that can no longer have offspring? Do I not understand selective breeding properly? Im not worried about the moral implications, just the science please.

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

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.

Why does my vagina smell sort of fishy/musty days after sex when my boyfriend ejaculates in me? There isn’t any itching or burning when urinating, so I don't think I have BV. It just doesn't smell like me.

First Sentence:

Why is there so much evil in the world?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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

Edit 2024–10.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

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

Upvotes:

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

This device then solves the entire problem.

Barnstars:

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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