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?

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.

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

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

Why is sin so sweet?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

He then asserts :

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

Do you usually wear your panties over or under your pantyhose?

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

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.

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

What does a fuse do?

What's an underrated/unknown novel or series that you think deserves more attention?

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

First Sentence:

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.

Why do people stay in cults after they have joined?

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

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

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

When a black man and a white woman have a child, does the child become white? If a white man and a black woman have a child, does the child become black?

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

I have BPD. Why do I destroy everyone I love?

I post the exact comment here.

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.

Where are the big girls? This is the first time I've seen a bigger lady boy and that's awesome .. you should post more of them here, nothing wrong with a thick black lady

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

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

I want to touch my sister’s boobs. What do I say?

Barnstars:

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

There are two important concepts here.

I am glad you enjoyed my pictures. Do you have any photos to share?

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

“ 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”

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.

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

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

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

What was your embarrassing moment in front of your father-in-law as an Indian daughter-in-law?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

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

Upvotes:

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

What is lightning?

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

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.

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

nine

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

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

eight

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

so, what happens?
