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 describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

Why did Kamala say immigrants eating cats isn’t real when there’s police bodycam footage of it happening?

He then asserts :

I post the exact comment here.

Has your wife or girlfriend ever been felt up in public by a stranger?

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

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

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

What are the best mattress options for a comfortable night's sleep in Pompano Beach?

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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Is using tech to track or monitor your partner’s activities a sign of love, insecurity, or control?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

How would you feel if your girlfriend had dick pics on her phone?

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

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

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

Is there any truth to the claim that Kamala Harris got where she is by sleeping around, or is that just typical conservative bigotry?

One is “what exactly is in 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).

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

What do you wear when you are alone at home?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

Have you ever followed through being bi-curious?

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

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

“ 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 were to bet, will Canada bend over to Trump's America demands or remain inflexible until the last day of his Presidency on January 20, 2029? Will America or Canada win this geopolitical arm-wrestling? I'm rooting for America.

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

What is lightning?

Why have Indian girls almost stopped wearing sarees?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

What are some cute picnic ideas for a romantic date?

This one hit behind the barn.

Upvotes:

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

According to Amy Schumer, John Cena was actually inside of her during the TrainWreck love scene. I thought that was illegal in Hollywood?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

Why do wokes use words like "homophobes" when they don't know what that means? Do they realize that no one is afraid of them?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Barnstars:

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

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.

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

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.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

so, what happens?

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

First Sentence:

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

One

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

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

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

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

He then describes the function of a fuse.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

There are two important concepts here.

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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