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?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

I post the exact comment here.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

What was the craziest place that you had sex with someone in public?

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.

What are some dirty secrets of Indian (Bollywood, etc.) actors and actresses?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

Why are leftist movements so popular among young people?

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

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

What did Chandrashekhar Azad say about Hinduism during a podcast?

What is lightning?

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

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

Why do women like black men?

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

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

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

If freedom of speech is absolute, how come it's not applied for private spaces and for the Internet?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

Why do some people admire Latin American cultures but not want to be from or live in those countries?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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?

How does a 45-year-old man get a girlfriend?

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

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

Why do flat earthers think using globetrotter, globetard, and other insults will make the educated arguer fall for the silly flat-earth belief?

“ 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”

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

Does the West have a defense against China's PL17 air-air missile?

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.”

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

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

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

What can be done to combat group stalking and harassment by an organized gang or society, particularly when they use universal sound weapons?

so, what happens?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Upvotes:

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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

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

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

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.

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

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?”

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

He then asserts :

There are two important concepts here.

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.

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.

First Sentence:

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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