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 other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

Why is my vagina swollen, it’s very itchy. I had sex we used protection, but day after it felt like my insides had a heartbeat as well as itching, the pulsing has went away but it is still itchy and my discharge is yellow, i'm 15, what could it be?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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 is lightning?

Has anyone ever made you take off your shirt?

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

What was your best sex experience that still makes you horny?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

“ 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”

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

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Edit 2024–10.

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 device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

First Sentence:

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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.

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

so, what happens?

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

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.

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

Upvotes:

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.

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

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

Barnstars:

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