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?

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

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

Can the existence of past lives be proven without the use of hypnosis or a pendulum to inquire about previous incarnations?

OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition 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.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

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

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

For those who were actually old enough to have experienced the 1970s and not for those who were born in the 70s. What were the pros and cons of that era?

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

“ 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”

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

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

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.

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

What is the reason behind some people referring to themselves as "nice guys" instead of simply being nice?

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

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

What would Spanish sound like if only latin and Greek words were used, like some romance analogy to anglish?

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

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

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 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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Why is Trump not on a violation of probation, offering a job for an endorsement is in violation of federal law? Kaamala knew better she is very sharp.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

Is it possible for sisters to have different skin, hair colours, and hair types? E.g. hair= wavy, afro, straight, curly, black, brown, blonde, red. Skin colour: brown, peach, light brown and more.

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit 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.

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.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

I post the exact comment here.

First Sentence:

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 bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.

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

He then asserts :

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Upvotes:

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

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

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

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

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

What is lightning?

[image of Common-mode choke]

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

What does a fuse do?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

so, what happens?

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.

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

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

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.
