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

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

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

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.

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

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

Can the belief of not worshipping Christ held by Jehovah's Witnesses be disproven using scripture alone?

What does a fuse do?

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

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

I was awaken between 2-3am by a voice that said “Hey”. Literally right next to my ear. Sounded like a males voice, but it wasn’t stern or deep. What could this mean?

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

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

What is lightning?

Do women lack the mental strength to succeed at STEM? There seems to be few women at STEM and more women leave STEM after a time of working at it. How can it be just sexism if women aren't banned from entering?

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

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

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.

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

If my heart stopped beating, would I have enough energy to walk out into the other room 20 ft away before I passed out and died?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

He then asserts :

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗ NEW WOMAN - analysis ˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗

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

so, what happens?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

Why is Tiananmen Square censored?

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.

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

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

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

Why are people with borderline personality disorder so capable of ripping someone apart with their words?

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Why did Sumire's summoning Nue act strangely in response to Kawaki's karma?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

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

Do Republicans want to ban books and decide what your kids can and can’t read?

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

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

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

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

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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.

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

This one hit behind the barn.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Upvotes:

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.

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

“ 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”

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Barnstars:

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.

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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