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?

One

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Why do men find women with bigger buttocks attractive?

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

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

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

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

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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

First Sentence:

My boss called me on a Saturday to let me know he that due to financial reasons, I was no longer needed effective immediatley. 3 days later, he sends me a text asking about work issues. How do I respond?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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 it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

Which Bibles can one read and be confident they are reading the inerrant word of God?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

Why can't ugly women date hot guys? I know a woman who wants a hot BF but people would just laugh at her and ask her "what can you bring to the table for him?", isn't that messed up?

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

Why would calling me an incel help anything? How does that solve anything? Why can’t you actually be helpful and offer productive honest advice?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

How do people who are deaf learn sign language? Is it typically taught by parents at a young age or are there programs available for learning it later in life?

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

Why do men like BBW? What is the attraction?

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.

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

“ 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”

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

[image of Common-mode choke]

What does a fuse do?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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.

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

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

so, what happens?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.

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

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

He then asserts :

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

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

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

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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.

Upvotes:

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

This is 'the assistant's answer'
