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?

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

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

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

Ok, so this is a question seeking an answer to clear up whatever gymnastics are in my head. I'm a moderately attractive guy, sincere heart, genuinely looking to love another, established. Why don't women that I'm attracted to, want me back?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

This one hit behind the barn.

He then asserts :

Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

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

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

Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

what exactly is a ‘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.

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.

What are your darkest taboo confessions?

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

I am interested in gang stalking tactics. How do covert agents use street theater and false narratives to torment targeted individuals?

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Should Pete Rose's record as the all-time hits leader be recognized and celebrated?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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 heterosexual men like anal sex with women? I think it's because they secretly want to have anal sex with a man? What do you think?

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.

When will dating stop being so hard for Gen Z?

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

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.

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.

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new

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

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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.

What is lightning?

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

Upvotes:

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

What does a fuse do?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Barnstars:

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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.

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

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

so, what happens?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

“ 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”

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.
