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?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

What are some of your shocking stories?

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

“ … 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).

Why did Donald Trump look so old during the debate?

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.

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

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

Is it possible for buyers to negotiate after an inspection if the appraisal is lower than expected?

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

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.

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.

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

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

First Sentence:

When you visit a store, do you go to shop or buy?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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.

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

Why would my husband cheat on me with an ugly fat woman?

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

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

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

What made you feel disgusted today?

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

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.

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

Women like what they hear while men like what they see, it that true?

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.

Barnstars:

“ 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”

Could humans be selectively bred, like dogs, to create 2 subspecies that can no longer have offspring? Do I not understand selective breeding properly? Im not worried about the moral implications, just the science please.

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

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?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

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

He then asserts :

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

There are two important concepts here.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

so, what happens?

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

What is lightning?

Edit 2024–10.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

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.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

Upvotes:

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'
