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?

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Why are men today so pussiefied?

First Sentence:

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.

Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to me?

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

How do I get over a long-term relationship breakup?

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

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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 are the different celebrity lists (A-list, B-list, C-list, D-list)? How does one become a part of these lists and move up or down in status?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

What made you stop being an addict?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.

Why do people see porn pics when they can watch porn videos instead?

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Is it possible to become homeless after being released from jail or prison in the United States?

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

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

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

What can melt your heart?

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.

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

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.

Why should we share our wife with others?

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

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

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.

nine

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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.

He then asserts :

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

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

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

eight

so, what happens?

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

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

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

Barnstars:

What is lightning?

What does a fuse do?

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.”

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

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

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

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.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

One

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”

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

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