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?

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.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?

First Sentence:

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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.

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

I post the exact comment here.

so, what happens?

(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.

While wearing high heels and walking heel to toe, when the toe box hit the floor there is a noise. How do I keep the noise just for the heel?

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

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

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

What can melt your heart?

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

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

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 exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

What is lightning?

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

What do you think about the NFA full auto band? Weapons built before 1986 can be transferred and registered? But we can't have an 87? But older weapons tend to be far more powerful. I think we should drop it. Input?

There are two important concepts here.

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

“ 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”

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Is it possible for creatures with intelligence more advanced than humans to evolve naturally in the universe?

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

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

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

Do Americans realize how much goodwill and credibility they've lost in the past two weeks?

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

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

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

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

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.

He then asserts :

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

This device then solves the entire problem.

What does a fuse do?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Barnstars:

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

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