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?

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

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

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.

How do you find out who your handler is as a targeted individual?

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

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.

Why does the UK Labour MP Jess Philips seem to be such a divisive figure?

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

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.

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

Why do I sweat so much after shower?

I post the exact comment here.

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.

What were the first few days, weeks, months and then years like after finding out about your spouses infidelity? How did your feelings, and yours & their approach to the situation change in the immediate aftermath compared to later down the line?

“ 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”

Edit 2024–10.

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

How do people in your country say "you're welcome" in their native language(s)? Is it a commonly known phrase or do most people just reply with "no problem"?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

Thinking from a spiritual perspective, can we say that the journey in recovering from narcissistic abuse a battle of spiritual warfare? Any thoughts on this?

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.

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

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?

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

What nonsense did you hear today in India that made you laugh?

so, what happens?

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

What is lightning?

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.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

One

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.

Barnstars:

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

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.

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

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

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

Upvotes:

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

He then asserts :

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 circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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