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?

This one hit behind the barn.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

What does a fuse do?

Why don’t Jews regard Jesus as an important teacher or rabbi, if not the Messiah? Putting aside messianic claims, wouldn’t Jesus be one of the most significant Jewish teachers in human history?

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

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

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

What is lightning?

There are two important concepts here.

Is the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting a preview of what the US is going to do to Taiwan?

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

First Sentence:

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

Why isn't bestiality illegal in most states? If children can't consent, then animals DEFINITELY can't consent. Why is being a pedophile a crime but zoophilia is not?

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

Edit 2024–10.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

How is the story of Rukmini Devi described in the Harivamsha, Rukminisha Vijaya and Shrimad Bhagavatam?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

Have you experimented with bestiality?

Barnstars:

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

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

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

He then asserts :

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

Why cant I breathe when I sleep on my back, I can breathe if im on my side or stomach but I feel uncomfortable since either my neck is twisted or my back is in pain, im physically healthy and my surroundings are clean so whats the problem?

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Why is the Middle East prone to terrorism?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

Canadians went out of their way to help Americans stranded in Canada after 9.11.2001. Why did Canadians help so much the way they did? We read that Canadians don't particularly like Americans to begin with.

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

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

so, what happens?

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

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

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.

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.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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.

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

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 device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

“ 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”

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

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

Upvotes:

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

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 device then solves the entire problem.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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