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?

First Sentence:

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

This one hit behind the barn.

Why am I so jealous towards couples? Why am I tired of being single and feel my life is over?

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

He then asserts :

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

My boyfriend always verbally abuse me and makes me cry. If I try to tell him how hurt I was, he says to me he loves me and can't hurt me but always abuse me. Why?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

Edit 2024–10.

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

Why can't I lose weight?

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

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

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

Will my parents go to hell if I don't wear hijab, they tried to convince me and they provided it to me but I don't want to wear it?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

Why is our generation so unhappy?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

Where are the gay people in India?

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

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

What is lightning?

Delta Force selection is originally based on SAS selection, so why is there no brutal jungle phase for Delta Force? It seems like it's based only on the Brecon Beacons section.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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.

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

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

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

What are some sad truths about life?

What does a fuse do?

There are two important concepts here.

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

What is the belief about the existence of past lives and memories? Do we have knowledge of our past lives at birth or does it come back to us gradually?

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

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.

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

Why do men date women they are not really interested in?

He then describes Rainy Season and 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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Barnstars:

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

I post the exact comment here.

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

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

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.

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

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.

so, what happens?

Upvotes:

“ 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”

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.
