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?

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

What does a fuse do?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

What is the reason for The Acolyte (2024 series) having poor reception among Star Wars fans?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

Why didn't people like the Game of Thrones ending?

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

There are two important concepts here.

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.

If you caught a shoplifter at your yard sale, how would you handle it?

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

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

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

How do I get a white man for a serious relationship?

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

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.

Why does a narcissist act like it's nothing when they hurt you?

First Sentence:

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

My boyfriend always verbally abuse me and makes me cry. If I try to tell him how hurt I was, he says to me he loves me and can't hurt me but always abuse me. Why?

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

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

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.

Why would the state lie about the Earth's shape? We know that it's flat, but why do they lie and tell us that it is a sphere?

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

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

Why does everyone hate Ed Sheeran so much?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

Overthinking is killing me day-by-day. What should I do?

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.

Have you made a female relative or friend squirt?

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

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

He then asserts :

Why do siblings (or other close relatives) stop visiting each other as they grow older? Why does this happen with so many people nowadays?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

Would you date a Muslim guy? Why/why not?

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

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.

Why should the law care about what I do behind closed doors?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

eight

so, what happens?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

This one hit behind the barn.

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

Barnstars:

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

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

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

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

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

I post the exact comment here.

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

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.

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.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

“ 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 is lightning?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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