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 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.

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

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

How do I get off Paxil?

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.

I post the exact comment here.

What is lightning?

Can you give an example of a documentary where the person telling the story believed it to be true, but it turned out to be false?

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

“ 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”

so, what happens?

What I have noticed is nearly every girl I try to connect with whom reject me are in their early 20s why is that the case?

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.

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

What should I expect after a BBL surgery?

He then asserts :

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

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

Why do liberals think same-sex marriage is alright? The Bible makes it very clear that it's not alright to be gay, why can't liberals understand that?

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

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

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

If you lived in South Africa, would you support nuclear power as a solution to the country's energy woes?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

Has anyone ever participated in a gang bang and what was it like?

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

Have you ever gone to a porn theater with your wife?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

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

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

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.

What are some possible reasons for an unfaithful spouse to not confess their affair to their partner and instead end it without telling them?

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Why are there so many illegal Haitians in Ohio? They can't walk here. Democrats flew them here to cause chaos and crime in Ohio.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

Barnstars:

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.

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?

One

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

There are two important concepts here.

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