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?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

I post the exact comment here.

What's a band that is really popular that you don't like? Why?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Upvotes:

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

What is the reason for the high rate of unmarried individuals in America, particularly among males?

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

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

so, what happens?

Is it socially acceptable for individuals to wear clothing typically associated with the opposite gender? What are some reasons for or against this practice?

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

Why can't white people just surrender their white privilege?

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

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

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

He then asserts :

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

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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.

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

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

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

“ 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”

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

What does a fuse do?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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.

What is lightning?

Edit 2024–10.

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.

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

eight

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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]

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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

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