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 it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

Why do wives cheat with black guys?

so, what happens?

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.”

What measures do celebrities take to protect their images from being used for commercial purposes without permission? How much does this typically cost them?

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

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

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

What is the recommended approach for creating a film or TV script? Should the script be written first or should the story be developed first? Why?

What is lightning?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

Would the word literate carry the same meaning with public (common wealth) in 1900 vs today 2020?

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

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

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

Why can’t Trump campaign on the real issues facing America rather than insulting the character of VP Harris? Does MAGA actually believe this tactic will work?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

“ 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 post the exact comment here.

This device then solves the entire problem.

He then asserts :

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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.

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

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

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.

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.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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.

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