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?

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

At what point did you realize it was the right time to leave your job?

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

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

Ok, so this is a question seeking an answer to clear up whatever gymnastics are in my head. I'm a moderately attractive guy, sincere heart, genuinely looking to love another, established. Why don't women that I'm attracted to, want me back?

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

Upvotes:

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Why do you allow your cat to lie in bed with you?

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

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

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

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

(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.

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.

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%).

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

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

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

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

First Sentence:

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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

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?

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

“ 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”

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Edit 2024–10.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

What does a fuse do?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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.
