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?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

What does Jesus mean in Revelation 3:3 when He states, "Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God?"

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

Do humans know everything they need to know?

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

Why do women wear less clothes compared to men?

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

What traits are considered unattractive? Which traits are typically seen as attractive and why?

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

Why do guys have better skin than women even though women use more product?

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

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

He then asserts :

so, what happens?

What smell will you never forget?

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

What was your embarrassing moment in front of your father-in-law as an Indian daughter-in-law?

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

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

I’ve a dismissive avoidant partner who said that he’s overwhelmed by our relationship and that he wants to break up, how do I get him back?

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

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

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.

Is The Last of Us Part 2 really as woke as people say it is?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

First Sentence:

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

“ 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”

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

What is lightning?

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

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

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

Upvotes:

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

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.

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Barnstars:

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.
