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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

There are two important concepts here.

What does success really mean to you? Is it about happiness, money, or something else?

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.

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

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

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

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

Why do some people believe that Homelander would be no match for Superman or Thor?

“ 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.

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

My boss called me on a Saturday to let me know he that due to financial reasons, I was no longer needed effective immediatley. 3 days later, he sends me a text asking about work issues. How do I respond?

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

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

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

How do you handle your mother-in-law after you heard her talking badly about you in the next room?

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.

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

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

What is the reason for the high rate of unmarried individuals in America, particularly among males?

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

so, what happens?

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

What do you think will be the biggest factor in determining whether Daniel Penny was justified in believing that Jordan Neely had posed a deadly threat in the manslaughter trial?

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

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

What kind of person makes you think "how come there are people like that"?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

Why do you think Filipinos are conservatives?

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

First Sentence:

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

“ 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”

Edit 2024–10.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

eight

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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?

One

nine

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

He then asserts :

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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

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.

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

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).

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

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

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.

What is lightning?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

I post the exact comment here.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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