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 circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Does the pro-choice movement realise that all the money used to subside abortions can be used to subsidize daycare and other financial support for single mothers with unplanned pregnancies?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

Have you experimented with bestiality?

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

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

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

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

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.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

What is the degree of influence of Saudi Wahhabism on the modern Muslim world?

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.

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

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

Why do almost all the girls on Quora look beautiful?

“ 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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

What transforms the philosophical intellect?

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

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

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

Why do people mourn when their leaders lose elections? Is it common for people to cry over events that are out of their control?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

nine

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

He then asserts :

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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