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?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

Which feels physically better for guys: vaginal sex or anal sex?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?

He then asserts :

What is lightning?

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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 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.

Was Michael Jackson really an innocent person?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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.

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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.

One is “what exactly is in 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:

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

Upvotes:

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

nine

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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”

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

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.

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

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