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.

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

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.”

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

Why do I sweat so much? I’m 17 but I feel like I always need to re-apply deodorant and I am always self-conscious that I smell because I feel sweat under my arms.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

In the TV show Supernatural, why is God portrayed as cruel?

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

How can someone effectively handle a targeted individual?

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

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

What is lightning?

Why do Argentinians use "vos" instead of "tú" in informal speech?

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

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

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

Do you as a gay male enjoy the feeling of getting a penis in your anus?

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.

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

Why are girls supposed to have a stereotypical "hourglass" body shape, and why if you dont have an "hourglass" body shape you get treated differently? It doesnt make any sense to me.

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

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

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

What are your thoughts on RM's new album "Right Place, Wrong Person"?

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

First Sentence:

What is the logic behind the porn being legal but not prostitution? Isn't it the same thing in essence?

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

There are two important concepts here.

A handy charger for every Switch Joy-Con you own is just $20 - The Verge

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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.

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.

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.”

This one hit behind the barn.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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.

What does a fuse do?

He then asserts :

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Barnstars:

“ 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”

Upvotes:

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

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

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.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

[image of Common-mode choke]

so, what happens?

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.
