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, 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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

What are the basic human needs according to psychology? What are the consequences of not meeting these needs?

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 atheists demand that everyone must accept their own self-definition? Is that any different from demanding others must accept their choice among 87 genders or be labeled as a bigot?

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

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

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

Why did it take seven days for troops with helicopters, equipment, supplies, food, and water to be dispatched to southeast storm zones?

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

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

What is lightning?

I was awaken between 2-3am by a voice that said “Hey”. Literally right next to my ear. Sounded like a males voice, but it wasn’t stern or deep. What could this mean?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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.

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

What are the pros and cons of arranged marriages?

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

Why does my crush always looks at me in a sad way whenever I talk with other boys, and if he catch me staring on him then he go and flirt with other girls and then check if I am looking at him?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

What did Chandrashekhar Azad say about Hinduism during a podcast?

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

What does a fuse do?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

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

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

He then asserts :

“ 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”

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.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

so, what happens?

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Barnstars:

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

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.
