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?

so, what happens?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

Why do Brits drive a lot more dangerously compared to Americans? Is there just no courtesy when driving in the UK?

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

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

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

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

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.

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

First Sentence:

What thing happened to you as a child that you haven’t let go of to this day?

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.

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

“ 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”

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

One day, I happened to walk past where my crush was with friends. Then all of a sudden they start laughing, and someone maybe him, goes "freaking (my name) with her freaking hair!" Can anyone offer insights into this? We're in middle school.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

What do feminists mean when they say they want to ‘normalize’ menstruation and its discussion?

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

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.

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

In your opinion, what is the worst rock band in history and why do you think they gained a large following?

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

What does a fuse do?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Why am I totally different than others? Why do I have a problem with my basic knowledge about society and reality? Why am I dumb and stupid?

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

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

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

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

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.

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 a photo where a lightning bolt took out a home's complete mains distribution box, and a lot of electronic gear as well.

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

What is lightning?

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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.

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.

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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.

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

He then asserts :

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

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

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%).
