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?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

I post the exact comment here.

What do you think about Anthony Scaramucci saying that JD in JD Vance stands for "Just Dull?"

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

What does a fuse do?

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

I'm straight, so why do I love watching guys cum?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Atheists who said that reading the Bible made them an atheist, how? Literally there are millions of people who read the Bible daily and still believe in God. So why say that? I mean unless you want to sound smart & edgy

Upvotes:

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

“ 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 a photo where a lightning bolt took out a home's complete mains distribution box, and a lot of electronic gear as well.

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

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

Can the existence of past lives be proven without the use of hypnosis or a pendulum to inquire about previous incarnations?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

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

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

Edit 2024–10.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

He then asserts :

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

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

What is lightning?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

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.

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.

First Sentence:

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.

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

so, what happens?

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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