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?

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

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

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.

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

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

Since the rise of feminism, the dating market has shifted to the disadvantage of men and that is causing this incel phenomenon. Why do women not understand how lonely the majority of men are?

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

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

Do older men realize that younger women usually do not prefer them?

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

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

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

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

One

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

Do you believe that the portrayal of smoking in films and music videos contributes to the glamorization of cigarettes in society?

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

Why is my coworker suddenly being so mean towards then being nice like nothing happened? She is nice with everyone but me.

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

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

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

What’s something you did a lot as a kid that you don’t miss now that you’re an adult?

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.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

nine

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

There are two important concepts here.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

What does a fuse do?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

This one hit behind the barn.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

Barnstars:

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

eight

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

so, what happens?

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

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.

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

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

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.

“ 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”

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 device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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

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?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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