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?

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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.

Why do I have an itch in my labia, white gooey and thick discharge which doesn't have a smell but my vagina does sometimes and both me and my partner do not have STDs, what is it?

He then asserts :

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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?".

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”

What kind of pleasure do gay men get from being bottom? The idea is very appealing to me but in practice it's quite painful.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

Barnstars:

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

nine

so, what happens?

What is lightning?

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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.

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

This is the picture of an electronic coil of wire wound around a core of magnetic material.

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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 one hit behind the barn.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
