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 bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

First Sentence:

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

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.

Did the Sumerians, Babylonians and, other Mesopotamians create more, influence more and, were more advanced than Egypt?

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

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

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 aren't you a Trump supporter?

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

“ 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”

Which is better, a naked picture of some one you know or porn videos?

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

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

so, what happens?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

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.

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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

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.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

I post the exact comment here.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

Upvotes:

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

This one hit behind the barn.

What does a fuse do?

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