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?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

Do you as a gay male enjoy the feeling of getting a penis in your anus?

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

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

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

When did bestiality first occur to you and how did it happen the first time? Was it a deliberate decision or it just happened and you allowed it?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

I post the exact comment here.

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

Canadians went out of their way to help Americans stranded in Canada after 9.11.2001. Why did Canadians help so much the way they did? We read that Canadians don't particularly like Americans to begin with.

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

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

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

Is it wise to choose your family over your honor?

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

What are some common historical misconceptions?

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 exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

Why should we share our wife with others?

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

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

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).

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.

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

What is life without a job?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

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

What is something you have to share?

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

What is lightning?

so, what happens?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

He then asserts :

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

First Sentence:

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

This device then solves the entire problem.

One

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

What does a fuse do?

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

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”

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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