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?

First Sentence:

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Do you believe that social media companies should allow posts spreading misinformation about election results, as suggested by Rep. Jim Jordan?

There are two important concepts here.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

What was the worst decision you ever did?

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

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

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

Grooming gang victims' concerns weren't dismissed, Reeves says - BBC

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

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Can supporters of gun control explain the purpose behind a gun registry?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

What is the meaning of xx in texting?

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

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

Did you swallow cum the first time you sucked a penis?

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

I am so tired of ignorant people like you calling us far rights, why democrats is so educated, they take things from their own mouth, you guys are totalitarian party?

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

I post the exact comment here.

Edit 2024–10.

I committed the unpardonable sin. God immediately punished me so that I can no longer think like before and my brain is as if paralyzed and does not work. I've tried everything (confession, repentance, etc.) nothing helps. Any advice?

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

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

Why are right-wing commentators spreading conspiracy theories about Haitians eating local pets in Springfield, Ohio?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

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

What is love?

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.

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

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

Having read so much about Archie and Lilibet not actually existing, does anyone have any proof that they not only exist but that Meghan gave birth to them?

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 where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.

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

Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

Can you explain the ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel? Why does it appear that Israel has been more successful in the conflict?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Can men and women be friends?

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

What does a fuse do?

so, what happens?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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?

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

One

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

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

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

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.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

He then asserts :

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

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

“ 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).

What is lightning?

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.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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