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?

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

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

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

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

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

Why did Kamala say immigrants eating cats isn’t real when there’s police bodycam footage of it happening?

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Can they start feeding only one meal to prisoners on death row or those doing a life sentence? Because only then will it be real punishment. If they want extra food they can work or pay from their own pocket.

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

Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?

There are two important concepts here.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

Is there any evidence to support the existence of people who have experienced "gangstalking"? Or is it a psychological phenomenon?

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.

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

Why is there so much hate against black people?

One

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.

“ 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”

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

First Sentence:

Do you think the constitution and laws should be taught in school?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

He then asserts :

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

Why do some children hate their parents?

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

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

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

What was your first experience like with a black man?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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.

What does a fuse do?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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

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.

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.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.

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

Upvotes:

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