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 where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.

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

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

Why is the French way to say please is "S'il te plaît" and not "Pour Favour" like Spanish and Portuguese "Per Favor" and Italian "Per Favore" in the Romance languages group?

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

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.

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

Does the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom diagnose rare conditions? If so, does it provide treatment for them as well?

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

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.

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.

Can you list every album you have ever listened to?

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

Why are Democrats at Q so desperate that they keep taking down my links to comments that prove the residents in Ohio have been filing complaints about the Haitians eating the local wildlife from ponds in the local parks? Election interference

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

There are two important concepts here.

Why did Mark Lane harass Helen Markham during an illegally recorded telephone conversation to misidentify Lee Harvey Oswald who she witnessed as the shooter of Tippit?

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Why do liberals have a problem with masculine men like Andrew Tate?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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’s wrong with anti-imperialism?

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

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

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

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

3 Subtle Signs Your Relationship Is Near Its End — By A Psychologist - Forbes

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

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

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

What do you think of Tesla's Model Y coming in ninth among electric cars sales in Europe?

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

“ 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”

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

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

so, what happens?

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?

What is lightning?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

Edit 2024–10.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

nine

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

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

Barnstars:

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

What does a fuse do?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Upvotes:

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 asserts :

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.”

First Sentence:

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.
