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?

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

What is your biggest mistake or regret?

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

I post the exact comment here.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Its year 2041, and president Hunter Biden has ordered every republican who sweared at him to be arrested and shot. I am on my way to the death row listening to the cheer of the Liberal mob chanting death death death. How can I escape?

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 is lightning?

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

What is the American mobile phone number format?

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

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

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

Why are men obsessed with breasts and their size? I don't quite see women being obsessed with the penis - Why is this so?

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

What symptoms did you notice before being diagnosed with cancer?

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

He then asserts :

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

What does a fuse do?

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

Is it true that people who are possessed by demons cannot see them until the demon is cast out? What is the reason for this?

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 describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

Do you have any problem dating a younger man?

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?".

What contributed to the popularity of The Beatles' song 'Yesterday'? Was it due to its simplicity, lyrics, or other factors?

There are two important concepts here.

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

“ 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”

I feel so attached and in love with a dead celebrity. My love for anyone else is overshadowed by my love for him. What does this mean?

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

What was your first gay male experience?

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.

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

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

First Sentence:

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

so, what happens?

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.
