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?

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

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

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

Why are German films often so formulaic even though Germany is a European culture? I love them but they follow formula very closely like Hollywood. What are the best German films?

This one hit behind the barn.

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

Time (physics): Who started counting our current time or is it just "set" by some scientific measure?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Upvotes:

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

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

Is it okay for a wife who comes home from a date to tell her husband what she did?

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.

“ 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”

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

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.

What is lightning?

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

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.

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

How will Israelis respond to someone claiming that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, in the same way as anti-feminism not being misogyny and opposing same-sex marriage not being homophobia?

This device then solves the entire problem.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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.

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

Barnstars:

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

What does a fuse do?

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for 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.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

so, what happens?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

He then asserts :

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.

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

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