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?

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

What are some mind-blowing facts about Michael Jackson?

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.

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

so, what happens?

Why do atheists love to preach against Abrahamic religions and mock God? Even if they do not fear the eternal fire of hell, pious Muslims will certainly not leave them alone and will take brutal revenge until they surrender and repent of their sins.

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

I post the exact comment here.

Are female judges more lenient than male ones?

“ 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”

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

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.

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.

Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.

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.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Does Donald Trump have low self-esteem?

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

There are two important concepts here.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

Why is it easy to make money in the USA?

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

What does a fuse do?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

What is lightning?

Upvotes:

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.

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

[image of Common-mode choke]

He then asserts :

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

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

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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