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 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.

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

How do I rat my boss out for serial cheating on his wife?

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:

Do intellectuals who peddle pseudoscientific tripe like simulation theory ever stop and think they are just dumb NPCs for Illuminati bot wars?

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

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

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.

What is your opinion? I am 150-152 and I feel short. I’m 15 years old. I feel like this makes me look like a baby and ugly on most clothes.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Why do unattractive men assume that a pretty woman like me want them?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

Have you experimented with bestiality?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

He then asserts :

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

Beautiful European women were killed by inquisition but Russia was not Catholic. Is this the reason for a drastic difference explaining why Russian women are the prettiest?

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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

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

Have you ever forcibly sucked someone’s dick?

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

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

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.

What misfortune led to an important discovery?

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

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

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

Why is blood sugar ranging from 70-180 in a day and checked through a glucometer?

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

Barnstars:

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

What do you think is the #1 cause of why relationships nowadays don't seem to last long?

eight

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.

nine

Why do atheists demand that everyone must accept their own self-definition? Is that any different from demanding others must accept their choice among 87 genders or be labeled as a bigot?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

I post the exact comment here.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

What are the core beliefs of liberalism and conservatism? Can you provide a list of defining characteristics for each side?

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

There are two important concepts here.

What does a fuse do?

If freedom of speech is absolute, how come it's not applied for private spaces and for the Internet?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

This one hit behind the barn.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

Edit 2024–10.

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.

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

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

“ 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”

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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.

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

First Sentence:

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

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

One

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.

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

What is lightning?

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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.

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

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

Upvotes:

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
