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?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

He then asserts :

Why are people so terrified or bothered that a person has original creative ideas, hobbies or unique interests?

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

nine

so, what happens?

How is cultural invasion being carried out by Bollywood?

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Should I believe JD Vance's claim that Tim Walz lied about needing medical intervention to get pregnant?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Upvotes:

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

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

According to Amy Schumer, John Cena was actually inside of her during the TrainWreck love scene. I thought that was illegal in Hollywood?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ 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.

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

Why was Boromir corrupted by the One Ring, but not Faramir in The Lord of the Rings?

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.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

How is bestiality wrong, but killing animals for sport or trophies is considered okay?

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

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

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

Thanks to FIFA, Atlanta’s first-ever Club World Cup game was underwhelming - AJC.com

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

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

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

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

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 other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

My boyfriend wants to break up over too many petty arguments. To me, they are molehills because I truly love him & don't really think twice about them. If he loved me would he work through it?

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

“ 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”

If my heart stopped beating, would I have enough energy to walk out into the other room 20 ft away before I passed out and died?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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.

One

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

What does a fuse do?

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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

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.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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.

I post the exact comment here.

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.

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

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

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

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.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

First Sentence:

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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