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?

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Why is Donald Trump criticized by so many people?

“ 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”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When a black man and a white woman have a child, does the child become white? If a white man and a black woman have a child, does the child become black?

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

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

Have you ever had sex with your mother-in-law? If so, how was it and did your wife ever find out?

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.

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

What is lightning?

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

Why is US hell bent on a private capitalist free opinion sharing platform like Tiktok? What happened to their mantra of so-called free spirit of capitalism and freedom of expression that they have been preaching to the rest of the world for decades?

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

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

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

Is there a correlation between being a medium and mental health?

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

There are two important concepts here.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

He then asserts :

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

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

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

First Sentence:

Upvotes:

so, what happens?

I post the exact comment here.

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.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Barnstars:

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

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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