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?

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

Barnstars:

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.

He then asserts :

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

Why would a person always be so tired?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

My marriage is fixed. My future husband repeatedly calls me to meet me in private and pressure me to have a relationship. What should I do?

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

“ 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”

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

What are the different celebrity lists (A-list, B-list, C-list, D-list)? How does one become a part of these lists and move up or down in status?

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

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.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

Why do I feel worthless most of the time?

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

What would have happened if Shin was a good movie instead of a bad one?

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.

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

Can we trust the Bible when Constantine and the First Council of Nicaea took out many books of the Bible and altered existing translation by removing things?

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of 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.

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

First Sentence:

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.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

so, what happens?

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 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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