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

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?

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

Can someone write me a sex story?

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

One

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

Why do men love swallowing more then women? Is it just because women just don't try eating CUM? they be missing some delicious CUM.. Life is short and women are missing out of lots of enjoyment..

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

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

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

Why do I sweat between my legs all the time, top off my legs, all way down?

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.

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

Why is Hinduism not polytheistic?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?

so, what happens?

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

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

What are the common formulas for improvising ornaments in bel canto singing?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

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

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

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.

Why do some young mothers trick a guy into believing that they're pregnant and it's their child when years later they find out that it's not even theirs should he still pay child support or not?

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

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

What do you think is the #1 cause of why relationships nowadays don't seem to last long?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

What is the reason behind the Russian government's negative view on foreign travel?

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

“ 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”

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.

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.

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.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

He then asserts :

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

I post the exact comment here.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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.

What is lightning?

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

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 does a fuse do?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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?".
