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?

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

I post the exact comment here.

First Sentence:

What are some disadvantages of living in rural areas? What are the advantages?

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

“ 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”

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

Why does my sister want to have sex with me? What should I do?

He then asserts :

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

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

What happens if someone fills up their car at the pump but leaves without paying? How is this situation typically handled?

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

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

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

Did you ever receive genuine remarks from a medium regarding your deceased relative with information that the medium could never normally know?

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

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

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

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

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.

Why do wokes use words like "homophobes" when they don't know what that means? Do they realize that no one is afraid of them?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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.

Is it possible for sisters to have different skin, hair colours, and hair types? E.g. hair= wavy, afro, straight, curly, black, brown, blonde, red. Skin colour: brown, peach, light brown and more.

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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

What does it mean when a guy says he doesn't want to ruin the friendship? Is he rejecting me or is there another explanation? Why would a guy choose not to risk the friendship if he has feelings for me?

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

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

Have you ever had sex with sisters?

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

Edit 2024–10.

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.

Did sharing a wife turn out okay?

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

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

so, what happens?

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

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 circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.”

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

This device then solves the entire problem.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.
