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

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?

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

Is it common for Americans to feel "trapped" due to the size and distance of their country from other countries/continents? Is this feeling an exaggeration or a reality?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

Why am I not getting any atheists to debate with? Are they scared?

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

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.

What does a fuse do?

Republicans, why do you support Kamala Harris over Donald Trump?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

Do all rocket engines emit harmful gases into the atmosphere during launch?

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.

How can we become the best humans? How can we trust each other?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

First Sentence:

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

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.

“ 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”

I have a "fat pussy" and I'm super self cautions about it. Do guys think it's gross?

We white women don't like white men. Do you have any issue with that?

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

When did Elon Musk fall from grace?

He then asserts :

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

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

Are there any political parties or groups that have a mix of conservative and liberal beliefs? Why are they not as prominent in the media?

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Is it still wrong to spread misinformation even if it's only to troll people rather than harming them?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Why is the Middle East prone to terrorism?

This one hit behind the barn.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

What's your review of "The Queen Who Ever Was," Episode 8 of Season 2 of 'House of the Dragon' (spoilers)?

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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.

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Barnstars:

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 fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.

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.

so, what happens?

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

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.

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

I post the exact comment here.

Upvotes:

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

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

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

eight

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

What is lightning?

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

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