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?

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

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

Have you ever been physically attacked by a demon?

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.

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.

What is the opposite personality type of someone with ASPD (antisocial personality disorder)?

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

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

“ 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”

I feel like my boyfriend doesn't love me. Why?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Why won't biden give a last minute deferred action TO ALL undocumented immigrants so Trump can't deport them? Obama issued DACA, why can't Biden issue something similar that protects ALL undocumented immigrants from deportation?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

What is the most ridiculous obviously false verse in the Bible?

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

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

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

There are two important concepts here.

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

What are the different celebrity lists (A-list, B-list, C-list, D-list)? How does one become a part of these lists and move up or down in status?

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

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

Is it true that LGB should drop T?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

He then asserts :

Can you give an example of a documentary where the person telling the story believed it to be true, but it turned out to be false?

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

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

Why would calling me an incel help anything? How does that solve anything? Why can’t you actually be helpful and offer productive honest advice?

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

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

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

How do you deal with neighbors who are always telling you what to do?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

What is lightning?

so, what happens?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Upvotes:

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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