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?

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

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

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

I think that being gay is wrong, but I treat gay people respectfully like any other person. Is it homophobic? Or offensive in any kind of way? Aren’t disagreement and discrimination two different things?

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

Do you think that drug addiction is a symptom of larger societal ills? What is it about our culture that leaves so many feeling like they're inadequate, trying any ill to find a cure?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

What's a memory from your childhood that shaped who you are today?

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

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.

“ 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”

Democrat voters, why are you so naive, easy to manipulate, can't see a liar standing right in front of you and why won't you research your party? You will find they have a plan for all W. Nations and it's evil.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Have you had any paranormal activity situations happen personally to you or someone you know?

Edit 2024–10.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

What does a fuse do?

eight

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

He then asserts :

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

This one hit behind the barn.

“ 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.

Upvotes:

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

so, what happens?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

What is lightning?

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

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.

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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.

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.
