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?

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

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

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

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

How do scammers communicate? Do they have a specific language or slang?

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

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

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

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

“ 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 are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

First Sentence:

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Why is America so fucked up?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

What was the hottest inappropriate sex you ever had?

I post the exact comment here.

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

What is lightning?

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

Upvotes:

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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.

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

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 'the assistant's answer'

so, what happens?

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

Barnstars:

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.

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

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

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.”

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

He then asserts :

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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 least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

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

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