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?

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

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

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

What are some ways to improve speed in sprinting, running uphill, and long/middle distance running?

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

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

Why do almost all the girls on Quora look beautiful?

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

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

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

Why do guys on dating apps often just first message "hey" or "hey how are you" instead of being more creative and unique? How do they think being a copycat will stand out?

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

I post the exact comment here.

When have you been in an accident where the other person involved blatantly lied to the police about what transpired?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

Is there a stereotype that South Indians are physically strong and muscular compared to other regions of India?

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

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

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

How long will it take Christian president-elect Donald J. Trump to restore our nation's moral values?

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

What does a fuse do?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

I just cannot wake up early, even if I sleep on time. What should I do?

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

Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

Why do untreated borderlines always blame their partners when they actually think they are normal?

“ 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”

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.

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

Do Indian guys like African girls?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Can anyone or anything overthrow your belief in the Jewish God?

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.

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.

What do you do when your family doesn’t care about you?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

What is lightning?

What's the most incredible coincidence that ever happened to you?

There are two important concepts here.

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

First Sentence:

What are some signs that someone may be being stalked by an organization or secret society? How can they find out for sure?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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.

Edit 2024–10.

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 fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.

Upvotes:

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

eight

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

Barnstars:

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

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.

He then asserts :

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.

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

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?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

so, what happens?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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