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

I post the exact comment here.

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

Why do narcissists devour so much sugar (candy, ice cream, donuts, etc., in huge amounts at a time)?

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

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.

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

Why do US military soldiers/officers have a chest full of medal ribbons when they probably haven't been in a combat situation? Are the medals for attendance, good behaviour, or long service perhaps?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

What is lightning?

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

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

How do you write lyrics for a song that resonates with listeners?

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.

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

Why is there no great temptress figure in any of Tolkien’s major works?

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

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

Why is Eric Clapton so roundly disliked among guitarists?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

What will help me to get a bigger butt naturally?

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

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

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

What do you think of Hegseth calling The Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, "a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes” after team Trump texted him their top-secret war plans on Yemen?

Barnstars:

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.

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

What does a fuse do?

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.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

so, what happens?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

He then asserts :

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

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.

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

There are two important concepts here.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

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

“ 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”

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.
