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?

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

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

Upvotes:

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

so, what happens?

Why does TikTok allow porn stars in its platform? Isn't it aimed at teenagers?

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?".

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

How can I control my daily masturbating habit?

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.

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

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

Why do atheists always argue about the existence of suffering in the world as meaning God doesn't exist when it doesn't prove anything?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

Why does he text me first but when I never text first he gets mad?

“ 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”

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.

Is love natural, or is it somehow created?

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Why am I so tired of seeing homeless people all over the place?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Why do people mourn when their leaders lose elections? Is it common for people to cry over events that are out of their control?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

Why are people becoming increasingly hostile to pro-lifers? I am pro-life.

I post the exact comment here.

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

Can anyone show a photo with a penis in their anus?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Do you agree that firearms are the most common weapon used in homicides of spouses, intimate partners, children or relatives? Should this data influence gun control policies?

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

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

What is lightning?

Have you ever been spanked in front of a group of people?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

First Sentence:

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

Barnstars:

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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.

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 fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.

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.

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

What does a fuse do?

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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).

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

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

He then asserts :
