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?

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

How will the article end in Part III of Gleissner's hit piece?

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.

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

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.

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

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

Why do old men think young women and girls would want them over guys their own age?

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

Is it wise to SECRETLY expose a narcissist by telling others that he/she is a covert narcissist?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

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

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

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

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Do you believe that the portrayal of smoking in films and music videos contributes to the glamorization of cigarettes in society?

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.

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

I am still studying engineering. I feel worried being an average student. Can I get a good job in placement, buy a house, and a car? I don't know why I feel this.

What does a fuse do?

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

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.

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

He then asserts :

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?".

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

One

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.

Upvotes:

First Sentence:

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

“ 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”

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.
