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

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

When do you feel most peaceful ever?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

Can it be true that people know your name, not your story, they’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through, so take their opinions of you with a grain of salt?

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

Why am I so jealous towards couples? Why am I tired of being single and feel my life is over?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

How much stronger is an average man than an average woman?

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

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.

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

Why does my best friend call me ugly and act like she’s joking, but today she looked at me and said “I wouldn’t lie to you”? What should I say back to her?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.”

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

He then asserts :

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

What do you think of Andrew Tate?

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

He then describes the function of a fuse.

“ 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”

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 non-resetable over current circuit protector.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

so, what happens?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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