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.

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

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

Is it okay for my husband to help other ladies without telling me?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

What is your favourite colour and why?

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.

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

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

Can you explain the difference between being a conservative Republican and a liberal Democrat? Can you provide some examples of their ideologies?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

I post the exact comment here.

“ 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”

Are women as visual as men are?

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?".

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

eight

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.

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

so, what happens?

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

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

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