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?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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.

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

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

Why did my 2001 4.6 liter Mustang GT V8 make "only" 260 HP while today's base Dodge 3.6 liter V6 churns out almost 300 HP? Both benefit from fuel injection and ECUs.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

Can we trust the Bible when Constantine and the First Council of Nicaea took out many books of the Bible and altered existing translation by removing things?

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.”

Does the potential of making Star Wars R-rated movies depend on whether Star Wars have stories that is too dark for PG 13 in Disney?

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

Why cant I sleep even tho I am sleepy? I am not anxious or worried but my body just doesn't want to. I've been awake for almost 2 days and feel sleepy but I cant sleep. My doctor said its anxiety related but its not. Is this normal?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

I post the exact comment here.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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?

so, what happens?

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

nine

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.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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

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

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

One

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

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

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.”

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

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

What is lightning?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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.

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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.

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'
