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?

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

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

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

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.

How does it feel to have sex with a 40 year old curvy aunty?

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

What is the most overrated pleasure? Why?

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

Upvotes:

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

Why are girls supposed to have a stereotypical "hourglass" body shape, and why if you dont have an "hourglass" body shape you get treated differently? It doesnt make any sense to me.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

What happened to the American Russell Bentley from Texas that was fighting for the pro-Russian commies?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

“ 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”

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

How far back into your childhood can your remember and what is your favorite memory of that time?

What is lightning?

I post the exact comment here.

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

Can cheating be a result of not truly loving or caring for someone, or is it sometimes just a spur of the moment decision?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Who is Meghan Markle and why is she so controversial on the Internet?

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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?”

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

What's wrong with white women?

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

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.

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.

Why is rap* a crime?

He then asserts :

Have you been arrested or investigated?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

What does a fuse do?

How did my ex move on very fast?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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

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

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.

First Sentence:

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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

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.

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Barnstars:

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

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.
