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.

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

Are people who cite the 2nd Amendment honestly familiar with what it establishes?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Why is sin so sweet?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

“ 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”

If you get a chance to have sex with either Kajal Agarwal or Samantha, who would you choose and why?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

I post the exact comment here.

Two of my family members have recently converted to Islam and have brought shame on my family. How do I get them back into the fold of Hinduism?

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

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

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

Why does my crush always looks at me in a sad way whenever I talk with other boys, and if he catch me staring on him then he go and flirt with other girls and then check if I am looking at him?

There are two important concepts here.

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.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

First Sentence:

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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.

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

Upvotes:

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

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

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

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

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.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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