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?

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.

What is the reason behind the Russian government's negative view on foreign travel?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

Why is it difficult to get a job?

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

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

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

How severely should I get punished? Please describe throughly. Today I got my result of my test nd I found out that I failed in 2 subjects, my parents are currently in abroad nd I lied to them about the fail but I feel guilty now.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

How can Democrats not feel hypocritical when they urge Trump not to be vengeful should be become president when the Democrats are trying to put Trump into prison?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

There are two important concepts here.

Can you explain the difference between an ego, soul, mind, and consciousness?

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

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

“ 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”

Where can I get sure fixed matches on Instagram?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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.

Why do people hate Nickelback so much? What makes them different from other popular bands like Linkin Park, Green Day, etc.? Is it just because they're Canadian or what?

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

What does a fuse do?

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

What was your first trans experience like?

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

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.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

so, what happens?

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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

(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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

First Sentence:

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

What is lightning?

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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

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

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

Barnstars:

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

He then asserts :

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.

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This one hit behind the barn.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
