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?

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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?".

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

Why is pure dopamine not a recreational drug? And if it was wouldn’t it be the most addictive and fairly side effect free?

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

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

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

What should I expect after a BBL surgery?

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

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

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

What is the scariest thing that ever happened in your life?

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

so, what happens?

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

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

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

How severely should I get punished? Please describe throughly. Today I got my result of my test nd I found out that I failed in 2 subjects, my parents are currently in abroad nd I lied to them about the fail but I feel guilty now.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

Why does my best friend call me ugly and act like she’s joking, but today she looked at me and said “I wouldn’t lie to you”? What should I say back to her?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

“ 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”

Why is pornography still alive and not illegal? Why doesn’t the government do about tricking women into them?

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.

What does a fuse do?

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 are the legal obligations of a new homeowner if the previous owner leaves furniture in the house after moving out?

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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.

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

I post the exact comment here.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

He then asserts :

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

First Sentence:

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.
