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?

He then asserts :

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

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

Why do I sweat so much? I’m 17 but I feel like I always need to re-apply deodorant and I am always self-conscious that I smell because I feel sweat under my arms.

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

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

Why do women wear less clothes compared to men?

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

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

Why do atheists demand that everyone must accept their own self-definition? Is that any different from demanding others must accept their choice among 87 genders or be labeled as a bigot?

so, what happens?

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 bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

Why are Indians so influenced by the Western culture, when the Indian tradition has so much to give?

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

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

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

What can be done to combat group stalking and harassment by an organized gang or society, particularly when they use universal sound weapons?

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?".

What is the meanest thing your husband has said to you?

“ 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”

What is lightning?

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

Why do I have an itch in my labia, white gooey and thick discharge which doesn't have a smell but my vagina does sometimes and both me and my partner do not have STDs, what is it?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

Why do so many 18 to 29-year-old men struggle in dating?

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.

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

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

Why does Filipino culture dictate that parents should be treated as gods?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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.

Why do you think Filipinos are conservatives?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Why was the rock band Kiss so successful?

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

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 does a fuse do?

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

He then describes the function of a fuse.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

There are two important concepts here.

Barnstars:

Edit 2024–10.

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.

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

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

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

I post the exact comment here.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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