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?

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

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

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.

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 asserts :

Do any members of BTS have significant others in real life? If so, why do they choose not to discuss it publicly?

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

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

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

Why are most people broke?

One

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Why are Capri cigarettes so expensive?

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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.

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

Why do so many people find Kakashi's character so appealing and inspirational?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

My cantankerous beagle is very badly behaved at the dog park and always starts barking at the other dogs. Would pepper spray be an effective method to correct his inappropriate behavior?

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

Edit 2024–10.

Upvotes:

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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%).

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

so, what happens?

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Barnstars:

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

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.

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

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

What is lightning?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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.

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