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?

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.

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

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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.

He then asserts :

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

How good is KIIT school of management at Bhubaneswar?

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

Do straight guys like to have sex with men when they smoke meth?

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

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

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.

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

Why is Donald Trump criticized by so many people?

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

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.

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

Why did Cartman love Heidi purely with heart, her being the first one he ever did, but then one day Butters tells him that all women are manipulative and then he began to believe that she was a bad person and pretended to be a victim?

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

If Trump were to lose in 2024, would that be the end of his grip on the Republican Party?

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

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

“ 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”

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 does a fuse do?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Upvotes:

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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

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.

What is lightning?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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