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?

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

What was the most challenging shift you experienced as an ER physician? Can you describe the details and reasons behind it?

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.

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

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

What exactly is female squirting? Is it only urine or a combination of liquids?

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

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

He then asserts :

Im happy but there is a heavy feeling of sadness in my heart that I just can't remove. Why am I like this?

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

Do you remember one day, you put a deep smile on someone's face and made them very happy?

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 device then solves the entire problem.

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

What were my 10 favorite great rock albums that were either forgotten or hardly known by the rock community at large during 1965-‘75?

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.

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

What smell will you never forget?

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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).

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

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

What did someone say to you that instantly made you realize their life was in danger?

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

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?".

What do you think about Matt Gatz as an attorney general?

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

Barnstars:

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

so, what happens?

One

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

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.

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.

First Sentence:

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

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

“ 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”

What is lightning?

Edit 2024–10.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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