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?

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Is there anything you did that you regret? If so, what is it, and why?

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

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.

Have you ever answered your door in lingerie?

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

“ 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”

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

What are some lesser-known facts about Bollywood and the Indian film industry? Are there any insider secrets that only those in the industry would know? How reliable are these claims?

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.

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

My son died seven months ago at the age of 24 how do I know if he’s in heaven and can he see me and hear me and why have I not gotten any signs yet from him or Mom just not seeing the signs how do I know if he’s OK how do I know if he’s happy?

There are two important concepts here.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

How do flat Earthers explain the existence of other spherical planets?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Why do we still feel attached or jealous when a covert narcissist moves on, even after realizing their toxicity and the suffering they caused?

First Sentence:

I post the exact comment here.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Why do some of those who believe in a god refuse to consider the possibility they could be wrong?

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

so, what happens?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Do you think most people would rather be a certain race or are most people happy with the race they are?

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

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

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

Why do men like low maintenance women?

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

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

Has anyone ever had sex with their cousin? How did it start, and would you do it again?

He then asserts :

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.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

What does a fuse do?

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

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

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

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

What is lightning?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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%).

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

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.

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 I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.

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

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

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

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.

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