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 device then solves the entire problem.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

Which current F1 drivers should switch teams based on historical patterns?

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

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

During the Atlmark incident in 1940, the Brit war criminals violated Norwegian neutrality. Hitler could then justify invading Norway. Have the Brits ever apologized for violating Norwegian neutrality?

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

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

Can the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) be reversed?

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

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.

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

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

What are examples of real life forced feminization?

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.

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

What does a fuse do?

What should I do to stop being angered easily?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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 one hit behind the barn.

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.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Edit 2024–10.

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

How often do prisoners try to escape from jail/prison, and how many of them succeed?

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

He then asserts :

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

Are people who cite the 2nd Amendment honestly familiar with what it establishes?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

I post the exact comment here.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

“ 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”

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

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

What is lightning?

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

so, what happens?

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

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

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

First Sentence:

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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.

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

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

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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