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?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

How can someone determine if their partner is in another romantic relationship, particularly if they do not live together?

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

Why is (n-1)(n+1)=n^2-1?

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

Barnstars:

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

Recently, I cleared my JP Morgan coding round. Next, I received mail for a video interview. What kind of questions are asked in this round? How do I prepare myself?

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

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

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

What can you do if you are a full-grown adult, but never experienced being a child?

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

What is one thing you've learned from life?

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

I post the exact comment here.

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.

Is 1500 calories enough for a 5’3 15-year-old who is non-active?

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

There are two important concepts here.

“ 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 it so common for married white women to have an affair with black men? Does it bother white guys?

He then asserts :

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Why do so many guys love anime girls?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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 melts your heart every time without fail?

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

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

Why can't my adopted sister accept she is not part of my family because she isn't related? Why can't she stop calling my parents mum and dad?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

What can I do when I'm ugly on both outside and inside? What do I do? Cut myself off from the world to make everyones lives better? I'm a monster. I hurt feelings, and I say what was said to me. I feel like I'm nothing but a burden. What do I do?

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

Which current F1 drivers should switch teams based on historical patterns?

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

One is “what exactly is in 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.

What does a fuse do?

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.

so, what happens?

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

eight

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

What is lightning?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

Upvotes:

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

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

One

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

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.

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

First Sentence:

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

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

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.
