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?

This device then solves the entire problem.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit 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.

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

How do people who are deaf learn sign language? Is it typically taught by parents at a young age or are there programs available for learning it later in life?

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

“ 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”

Which document should be pointed out to a holocaust denier?

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

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

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.

What life lesson did you learn the hard way?

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

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

How would you respond to Rep. Nancy Mace's claim that the GOP platform is more in line with what the American people want compared to the left?

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

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

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

Barnstars:

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

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.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

I post the exact comment here.

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.
