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?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

Does the pro-choice movement realise that all the money used to subside abortions can be used to subsidize daycare and other financial support for single mothers with unplanned pregnancies?

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

What is lightning?

Do you as a gay male enjoy the feeling of getting a penis in your anus?

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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.

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

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

Was there any slavery of white people that actually compares to the transatlantic slave trade? I’m not baiting or anything actually genuinely curious and want to know.

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

I broke up with my boyfriend because he wasn’t transparent about his past, it hurts me and he doesn’t care. I told him in the beginning of our relationship that it was a deal breaker for me what do I do?

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

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

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

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

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).

“ 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”

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

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.

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.

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

Which bands became massively popular for covering songs rather than recording originals?

There are two important concepts here.

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

so, what happens?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

He then asserts :

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.

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

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

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.

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

Upvotes:

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

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

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

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 device then solves the entire problem.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

One

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.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

I post the exact comment here.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
