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?

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

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

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

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

While wearing high heels and walking heel to toe, when the toe box hit the floor there is a noise. How do I keep the noise just for the heel?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

He then asserts :

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

What does a fuse do?

Why are the democrats keep insisting that there are more than two genders?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

Why do we let ugly men exist?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

How do you know how physically attractive you actually are?

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

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

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

“ 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”

How do you get a teenage boy to care about hygiene?

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.

What is the hidden meaning behind 'Skibidi Ohio', and why is it trending?

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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.

What is lightning?

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

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

Is spinach easy to grow?

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.

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

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

What happens to single guys when they get older?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Which feels physically better for guys: vaginal sex or anal sex?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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.

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

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

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

Upvotes:

One

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

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

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 where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.

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

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.

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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