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?

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

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.

Should parents be allowed to bring children into R-rated movies? What are the potential consequences of doing so?

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

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

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

What would you change in the "Game of Thrones" storyline if you were one of the writers of the TV series?

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

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.

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

Why is the covert narcissist actively avoiding me when they see me everyday?

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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’ ? ”

Why is my vagina swollen, it’s very itchy. I had sex we used protection, but day after it felt like my insides had a heartbeat as well as itching, the pulsing has went away but it is still itchy and my discharge is yellow, i'm 15, what could it be?

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

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

Could humans be selectively bred, like dogs, to create 2 subspecies that can no longer have offspring? Do I not understand selective breeding properly? Im not worried about the moral implications, just the science please.

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

What is lightning?

Why am I so wanting to suck a penis?

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

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

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 is a good comeback for when someone calls you flat?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

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

What does a fuse do?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit 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.

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

He then asserts :

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

He then describes the function of a fuse.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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”

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

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

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

so, what happens?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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.

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

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