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?

He then asserts :

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

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.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Which type of physical cable has fastest transmission speed?

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

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

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

What is the best time for conception?

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.

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

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

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.

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.)?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

Can you fly an American flag in the UK in your own private property there? What is the UK’s government stance on that? And if yes, do you also have to fly the UK flag or the American flag can fly solo?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

“ 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”

What are some ballbusting stories?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Why do flat-Earthers think the Earth is flat?

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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.

eight

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

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

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

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

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

Barnstars:

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

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

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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

There are two important concepts here.

so, what happens?

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

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

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.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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.

What is lightning?

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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