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.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Why do a lot of autistic people not know how to style their hair?

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

Why cant a narcissist admit when they are wrong?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

What specific economic and social impacts would result if all climate change policies and regulations were immediately repealed worldwide?

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

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.

How do you feel about Donald Trump signing an executive order that says there are only two genders?

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

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

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

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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.

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

Is the Democrat party connected with organized crime in America?

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

Is it okay or problematic to be both Black and gay in society in the 21st century?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

He then asserts :

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

U.S. imports see largest plunge on record in April - Axios

[image of Common-mode choke]

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.

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

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

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.

MIT’s Chilling Experiment That Could Prove Gravity Is Quantum - SciTechDaily

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

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

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

I’m a man. Why do I always fantasize about men’s cock? I don’t want a relationship with the man, I just want to suck his cock.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

Is it true that schizophrenia can sometimes be a demonic attack or black magic?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Why would a spouse cheat if the marriage is good?

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

First Sentence:

Has anyone who has been a victim of a narcissist made contact with the other victims of the narcissist? Did it help to confirm what you suspected about the narcissists?

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.

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

Why did Donald Trump look so old during the debate?

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.

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

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

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

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

Upvotes:

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

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

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

“ 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%).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is lightning?

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

so, what happens?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Barnstars:

What does a fuse do?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

Edit 2024–10.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

“ 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”

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

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

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