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?

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.

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

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?

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

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.

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

How often do you watch the news on TV?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Why was the rock band Kiss so successful?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

I post the exact comment here.

Do you love fat pussy?

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

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

so, what happens?

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

There was this one weird Bollywood movie that was released in the 2000s. Amitabh Bachchan was starring with another actress and the story was about how the old guy (Amitabh Bachchan) fell in love with the young woman. What is the name of this movie?

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.

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

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

Upvotes:

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

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

Have you ever forcibly sucked someone’s dick?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

If an abortion doesn’t affect you, why do people make it a big deal?

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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

Barnstars:

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

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

What does a fuse do?

First Sentence:

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

One

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.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

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

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

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.

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

“ 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”

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

Edit 2024–10.

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

eight

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.
