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.

He then asserts :

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

How can one justify in Sweden that total subsidies for public green energy initiatives being approximately 8.2 billion SEK per year? Electric cars at market price typically cost an average of 500,000 SEK which is above household budgets.

This device then solves the entire problem.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

How many girls or guys keep extra pantyhose in their glove box or console of their vehicle?

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Does believing in God and Satan cause schizophrenia?

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

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

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

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

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.

so, what happens?

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.

Do most men prefer curvy women or skinny women?

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

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

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

What do you think of Hegseth calling The Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, "a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes” after team Trump texted him their top-secret war plans on Yemen?

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

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

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

Is it okay to pay 12,000 SEK for rent 67m² furnished house for 2 people in Jönköping, Sweden? It also includes electricity, internet, heating, and water expenses.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

What is lightning?

What are the pros and cons of living in Male, Maldives?

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

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

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

Have you ever been forced to undress for money just once?

I post the exact comment here.

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.

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

Why do boobs of some girls bounce when they walk?

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]

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Women like what they hear while men like what they see, it that true?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

What does a fuse do?

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?

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

“ 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”

[image of Common-mode choke]

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

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.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Upvotes:

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

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

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

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 are two important concepts here.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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).

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.

Edit 2024–10.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

Barnstars:

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

First Sentence:

One

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

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