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?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This one hit behind the barn.

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

Could the guys here tell me how their first experience with a trans woman was? Who was the lady to you? ( I mean girlfriend, one night stand, etc.) I just had my first experience recently and I would like to know about others?

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

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.

My wife has a bunch of really attractive friends, and she expects me to never say anything to her about how beautiful they are. Does this seem fair? I love my wife, and just commenting shouldn’t hurt anything, right?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

Is it true that all men want a woman who looks like an Instagram “model”?

There are two important concepts here.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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%).

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

Had strong anxiety, heart palpitations, headaches and fear randomly over twin flame presence, 20 mins later he didnt acknowledge me saw a photo of a girl on the back of his phone faced up. Assume it was a new gf. Was this a warning of seperation?

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

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

so, what happens?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

Why am I peeing so much without drinking a lot of water? I checked my blood sugar and it is normal. Could it be something else?

Upvotes:

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

“ 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”

Barnstars:

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

First Sentence:

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

He then asserts :

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.

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

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

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

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

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.

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.

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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.

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.

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.
