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?

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

Why do people keep complaining about how some people copy and paste the question before answering it? To me, it's very disturbing and makes me want to block and mute them as annoying whiners.

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 I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

What does a fuse do?

This device then solves the entire problem.

What life lesson did you learn the hard way?

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.”

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

Can we trust the Bible when Constantine and the First Council of Nicaea took out many books of the Bible and altered existing translation by removing things?

Upvotes:

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

What do you think about the NFA full auto band? Weapons built before 1986 can be transferred and registered? But we can't have an 87? But older weapons tend to be far more powerful. I think we should drop it. Input?

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

There are two important concepts here.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

What were the first few days, weeks, months and then years like after finding out about your spouses infidelity? How did your feelings, and yours & their approach to the situation change in the immediate aftermath compared to later down the line?

He then asserts :

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.

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

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.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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.

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

What is lightning?

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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 photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:
