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?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

Why am I so wanting to suck a penis?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

California schools are very liberal. Do you think California schools are teaching students to hate Republican views (views on: God, guns, prayer, secure borders, etc.)?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Why is Bollywood failing?

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.

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

First Sentence:

Why do black people prefer thick, curvy women?

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

Why are so many people anti-Trump? People didn't like Obama either, but he was the president, so people didn't do this. What makes Trump different?

What does a fuse do?

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

Can you give an example of a documentary where the person telling the story believed it to be true, but it turned out to be false?

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.

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

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

What's the hardest part about marriage that no one ever talks about?

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

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

What is the best way to get my wife to become a hotwife?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

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

Will you share your wife? Can she take both of us at the same time?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Is the saying "nice guys finish last" true? Can good intentions always lead to positive outcomes?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

Thinking from a spiritual perspective, can we say that the journey in recovering from narcissistic abuse a battle of spiritual warfare? Any thoughts on this?

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

What was the worst spanking you got growing up?

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

What would you change in Rings of Power?

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

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

What is lightning?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

“ 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”

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

Upvotes:

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

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

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.

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

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

He then asserts :

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

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

There are two important concepts here.

so, what happens?

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

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

Barnstars:

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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 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.

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.
