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?

What does a fuse do?

One

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

Why do men want to suck dick?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.”

Why do Christians think voting for Trump is any better than voting for Kamala Harris?

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

“ 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”

There are two important concepts here.

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

Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

How is it, in the USA, a country with 334 million people, the choice of President comes down to two aged men, one of whom is a liar as well as a criminal, one who appears to be on his way to dementia. Surely a democratic country can put up better?

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

How do we write and pronounce "it's my pleasure" in Italian?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

Could the guys here tell me how their first experience with a trans woman was? Who was the lady to you? ( I mean girlfriend, one night stand, etc.) I just had my first experience recently and I would like to know about others?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Why wasn't Queen as successful in America as in other countries? Then, after Radio Ga Ga, they couldn't even get into the top 40 in America even when these songs were top 10 hits everywhere else in the world.

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

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

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.

If a narcissist can't feel remorse, can they ever feel regret for an evil act after going to rehab?

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

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

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

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

so, what happens?

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

Barnstars:

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 are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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 a photo where a lightning bolt took out a home's complete mains distribution box, and a lot of electronic gear as well.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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.

[image of Common-mode choke]

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

What is lightning?

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

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

First Sentence:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He then asserts :

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge 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, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.
