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?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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.

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

Why does my mother care about my sister more than me?

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

He then asserts :

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

In my experience, British people are fat, ugly and arrogant. Why is it and can it be changed?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

What is the sluttiest thing your wife has ever done?

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.

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

Why do wokes use words like "homophobes" when they don't know what that means? Do they realize that no one is afraid of them?

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

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

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

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

Is it possible for doctors to diagnose prostate cancer just by looking at a patient?

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

What is lightning?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

What do people aim for when they meditate, and how do they do it properly?

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

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

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

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

When was the first time you suck on a penis?

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

Upvotes:

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

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

“ 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”

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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.

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

First Sentence:

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.

[image of Common-mode choke]

There are two important concepts here.

What does a fuse do?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.
