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?

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 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.

What is lightning?

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

Why do flat-earth conspiracy theorists believe that photos from space, including those of satellites, are fake?

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

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

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

What are the best examples of reverse psychology?

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.

🔥Why has Prime Narendra Modi become Extremely FRUSTRATED and Highly DEPRESSED because he has NOT been invited by Donald Trump to witness his Oath Ceremony for his INAUGURATION on 20th January as the next PRESIDENT of USA? Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?

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

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

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

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

Why are the bands Smashmouth and Nickelback often used as punchlines?

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

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

Summer here, the one who debunks atheism. Isn’t it funny how atheists always say they prefer a “no-nonsense, evidence-based approach” to understanding the world, but when I bring up logical arguments for theism, they suddenly clam up?

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

So I’m getting piano lessons and my teacher wants me to get an upright piano instead of a keyboard. An upright piano is way above my price range, so what do I do? And what’s the difference between an upright piano and a keyboard?

He then asserts :

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

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.

Do handsome guys intimidate women or people in general?

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

“ 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”

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

One

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

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 circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

I post the exact comment here.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

so, what happens?

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

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

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

Barnstars:

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.
