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?

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

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

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

Wow! The changeover from President Biden to VP Kamala Harris as candidate could not have been more successful in just 2 days! It was as if they had been planning it. Could they have planned it? Are you excited by the positive Democratic response?

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”

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

What was your best experience of having your navel touched?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

Is love natural, or is it somehow created?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Have you ever been forced to dress like a girl?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

Is it possible for buyers to negotiate after an inspection if the appraisal is lower than expected?

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.

What is lightning?

Why do I sweat so much? I’m 17 but I feel like I always need to re-apply deodorant and I am always self-conscious that I smell because I feel sweat under my arms.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

My husband asked me why do I keep on complaining about him cheating. Why don't I just leave?

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.

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

Why do I feel bad when I see white girls dating black guys, am I racist?

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

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

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

Why do some people feel down in summer, specifically in July and August? What could be the reasons behind this feeling of sadness during those months only?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

How can we worship Shri Krishna at home? Is it enough to install an idol, or are there other rituals that are mandatory?

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Can you share a story of someone who had a lucky experience while hitchhiking?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

What does a fuse do?

When sharing a wife, is it best with your buddy or a stranger?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Why are Republicans so brainwashed and oblivious to the fact that a lot of the price increases going on right now is due to corporate greed, not inflation?

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

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.

Who is the beast of Revelation 13?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

so, what happens?

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

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

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

He then asserts :

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

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

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

nine

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.

eight

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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 exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

First Sentence:

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.

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Upvotes:

One

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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