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?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Why do so many 18 to 29-year-old men struggle in dating?

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

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

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

What is a good tool for product analytics besides Google Analytics?

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

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

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.

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.

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

Why do you suck men's dicks?

“ 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”

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

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

How many of you have had your parental rights taken away because of lies and no truth whatsoever, and did you prove the lies that were told about you to be false either through drug testing or another way, but still had your rights taken?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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.

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

There are two important concepts here.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

One

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

nine

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

so, what happens?

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

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

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

What is lightning?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

First Sentence:

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

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

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.

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