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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

What is the most interesting question you can ask to get to know someone?

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

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

Is it possible for doctors to diagnose prostate cancer just by looking at a patient?

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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.

I saw a post on X which says "control your lust & you'll understand how boring 90% of women are." What do you think about it? Do you agree or disagree? Why?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

If there was only one man remaining on the Earth, would this be regarded as extinction?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Do you have pics of the wife making out with another guy?

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

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

Will you share your wife? Can she take both of us at the same time?

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

“ 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”

How can you determine which type of underwear to wear with different styles of clothing, such as dresses?

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

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.

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

If people in the UK hate Trump so much, why does he own golf courses there?

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

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

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

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

He then asserts :

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

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

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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

What is lightning?

eight

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.

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 fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Barnstars:

Edit 2024–10.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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