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?

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.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

Why does my vagina smell sort of fishy/musty days after sex when my boyfriend ejaculates in me? There isn’t any itching or burning when urinating, so I don't think I have BV. It just doesn't smell like me.

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

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

so, what happens?

What's it like to have an IQ of 140 to 170? Do people notice you're different?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

My dog is 2 weeks old. He's not eating, moving and always sleeping and I can't take him to a vet. What should I do?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

Is the Shia claim true that Imam Ali was born inside the Kaaba?

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

How will Israelis respond to someone claiming that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, in the same way as anti-feminism not being misogyny and opposing same-sex marriage not being homophobia?

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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

What happened to your school bully?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

Did you become a cuckold for your wife?

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

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

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

What do you do when you are struggling to fall asleep?

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Why is Jack Smith arguing that presidents should not have full immunities as Trump is requesting?

Upvotes:

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

What does a fuse do?

This one hit behind the barn.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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.

There are two important concepts here.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

“ 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”

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

I post the exact comment here.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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.

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.

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

What is lightning?

He then asserts :

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

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

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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