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?

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

What does a fuse do?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Why are men ridiculously delusional in the women they want/approach? I'm not a troll. This is a real question. Why does a fat, pot bellied, unkempt, balding, stupid (ergo poor) man, tell a woman above his league that she isn't hot enough for him?

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

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

What is your review of Kota Factory Season 3 (TVF Original)?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

If the world was flat, would it be possible to see Mount Everest if it was on the other side of the Earth on a clear sunny day?

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

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

Why are you bare-nakedly displaying your anti-Trump bias while ignoring the liberals' destruction of the US? I am now blocking your e-mails because of your biased articles.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Why are Republicans such intolerant people?

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

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.

so, what happens?

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

What do you think of the controls that will be set up over information flows at Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs' missions?

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

There are two important concepts here.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

It’s been over a month since I stopped taking sertraline but why do I still feel side effects like brain zaps and anxiety mood changes? The root cause of anxiety it’s your thinking and I perfectly master that better than before so it’s hard lately.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Why is the internet so restrictive? Why is it impossible to find a place where you can express yourself fully?

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.

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.

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.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

What is lightning?

First Sentence:

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

He then asserts :

One

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 fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.

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

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

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Barnstars:

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

“ 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”

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

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

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