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?

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

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.

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.

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

Is it common for people to fall in love with someone else while still married? If so, why do they choose to stay in their marriage?

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

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 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.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

What is the attitude of the Swedish people towards sending soldiers to Ukraine to fight for the freedom of Europe?

There are two important concepts here.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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 “.

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

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

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.

Is there any evidence to support the existence of people who have experienced "gangstalking"? Or is it a psychological phenomenon?

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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.

Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?

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

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

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

Why do so many people seem to hate Nickelback? They're competent and entertaining, and while they certainly aren't the absolute best music, they're still a fun listen.

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

Barnstars:

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

“ 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.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

He then asserts :

What is lightning?

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

Upvotes:

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