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?

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

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

Do you agree with Pete Hegseth's comment that Obama created a moral divide between military and civilian life?

so, what happens?

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

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

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?

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

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.

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

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

How do I convince flat earthers that the earth is round?

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.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Why am I so triggered and depressed over a minor thing?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

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.

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

What are the major security challenges facing India, both domestically and internationally, and how does the government address them?

There are two important concepts here.

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

This is a real question: Why do a lot of men/boys hate (yes, hate) women that voice their criteria in choosing a partner? Even when the criteria is sane and responsible. Besides it being, sadly, an effective mating strategy, why does it exist?

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

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

First Sentence:

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

Upvotes:

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

Barnstars:

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

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

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

“ 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”

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

He then asserts :

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

One

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

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

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

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

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

This one hit behind the barn.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

What is lightning?

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