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?

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

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.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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.

Why did my ex move on so fast, we have only been broken up for 2 weeks?

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 device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”

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

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

In what ways Indian parents are destroying their children's life?

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.

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

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

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

Do you believe that social media companies should allow posts spreading misinformation about election results, as suggested by Rep. Jim Jordan?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

How does gut health affect mental well-being?

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

What is your review of "Regent", episode 5 of Season 2 House of the Dragon?

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.

so, what happens?

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

He then asserts :

Justin Bieber talks 'anger issues,' says he's 'broken' in emotional Instagram post - ABC News

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.

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

One

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

He then describes the function of a fuse.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

“ 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”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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