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?

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

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

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

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

Why do you think Filipinos are conservatives?

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

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.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

The Club World Cup is finally up and running — and soccer may never be the same - AP News

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

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

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

Has anyone tried bestiality and been caught?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

Why do some people tell the girl I like that I don’t like her when I do like her?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Is it accurate to say that while Donald Trump has "America First" policy, the Democratic Party has "Other nations first" policy?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

First Sentence:

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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.

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

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

Barnstars:

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

What does a fuse do?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

so, what happens?

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

Upvotes:

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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.

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

“ 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”

This one hit behind the barn.

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

I post the exact comment here.

He then asserts :

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
