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?

First Sentence:

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

What is your analysis of Walter White from Breaking Bad?

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

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.

What I have noticed is nearly every girl I try to connect with whom reject me are in their early 20s why is that the case?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.

How does the narcissist react when he realizes you no longer care?

Barnstars:

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Why did my bipolar girlfriend split up with me?

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

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.

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.

Why do we still feel attached or jealous when a covert narcissist moves on, even after realizing their toxicity and the suffering they caused?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Why does a straight man like anal penetration?

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Why is America so fucked up?

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

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

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

Hillary thinks we must censor or "we lose total control". Why does she demand total control?

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Why cant I feel anything in my sleep? I cannot even feel myself moving, breathing, and swallowing saliva! I cannot even hear anything, not even my alarm! Some people that I've been with says that I'm moving a lot in my sleep, how can I stop it?

What is lightning?

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

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.

What are some of the best relationship advice for men?

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

One

“ 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”

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

He then asserts :

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.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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

so, what happens?

Upvotes:

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

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

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