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

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

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”

What is lightning?

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

After the recent controversy over Ghibli art, many are saying that the artist has no future while others say, that people prefer human art when compared to AI art. What's your opinion on it?

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

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

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.

If my heart stopped beating, would I have enough energy to walk out into the other room 20 ft away before I passed out and died?

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

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

Are female judges more lenient than male ones?

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.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

Gun owners, imagine if an attacker comes to your home and takes your gun to use against you before you had the chance to pick it up. Would you regret owning a gun?

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.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

Do you agree that all President Trump needs to do during tonight's 6/27/24 debate is to stand quietly at the podium and simply allow Mr. Biden to go down in flames?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

What do you love to do at night when you’re alone?

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

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

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

For those who were actually old enough to have experienced the 1970s and not for those who were born in the 70s. What were the pros and cons of that era?

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

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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

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

Barnstars:

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

One

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

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).

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

First Sentence:

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

so, what happens?

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

He then asserts :

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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.

Edit 2024–10.

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