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?

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

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

Help. I’m 16 and just got spanked by both of my parents for taking the car. What do I do? I want to run off somewhere but I’m so scared that I’ll get spanked again. I’ve never gotten the paddle before and I’m still scared to sit

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

California schools are very liberal. Do you think California schools are teaching students to hate Republican views (views on: God, guns, prayer, secure borders, etc.)?

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.

I listened to Kamala Harris speech she gave in North Carolina. I support 100% of what she said. I am more and more in favor of a Kamala Harris presidency if Biden becomes unable to be our president! Do you find yourself supporting Kamala Harris now?

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

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.

Do polyphenols in mushrooms fight cancer or cause side effects?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

What is lightning?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

R-Truth receives outpouring of support from WWE stars after stunning release: ‘Immeasurable’ void - New York Post

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

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

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

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

“ 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”

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

What's your review of the movie Poor Things?

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

so, what happens?

This device then solves the entire problem.

Hey girls can we see some anal play?

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

Barnstars:

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

Edit 2024–10.

He then asserts :

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

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

Upvotes:

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

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.

2024–09–27 [ 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?

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.

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

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.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

I post the exact comment here.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

There are two important concepts here.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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