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?

Barnstars:

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.

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

Why do people keep denying the similarities between Latin and Italian by saying they are totally different languages when it’s obvious they sound similar?

so, what happens?

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

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

In what ways does Islam oppress women?

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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

What are the similarities and differences between the policies of Democrats and Republicans currently?

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.

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.

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

“ 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”

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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 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.

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

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

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

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

There are two important concepts here.

What does a fuse do?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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 :

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

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

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

I post the exact comment here.

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.
