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?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

'The Alters' is a genre-blending sci-fi survival ordeal about the horrors of being a project manager - Space

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

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

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

Why do women consider 80% of men as unattractive?

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 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.

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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

What sexual experience did you have at a highway rest area?

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.

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

Can a twin flame runner be happy in a karmic relationship?

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.

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

What should I do if I love a girl and she apparently doesn't love me?

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

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

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

What advice would you give to a father of a teenage daughter on how to protect her from boys, dating, and social media? How should fathers discuss these topics with their daughters?

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

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

so, what happens?

Having read so much about Archie and Lilibet not actually existing, does anyone have any proof that they not only exist but that Meghan gave birth to them?

He then asserts :

Why do people stay in cults after they have joined?

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

How would you feel if your girlfriend had dick pics on her phone?

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

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

First Sentence:

I post the exact comment here.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

What does a fuse do?

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 photo where a lightning bolt took out a home's complete mains distribution box, and a lot of electronic gear as well.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

“ 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 exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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

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

One

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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.
