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?

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

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

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

Why is the concept of pumping water uphill not commonly used as a source of electricity generation, similar to pumped-hydro systems?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

Why do old men think young women and girls would want them over guys their own age?

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.

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

What are the most extreme examples of hypocrisy?

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

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 did my 2001 4.6 liter Mustang GT V8 make "only" 260 HP while today's base Dodge 3.6 liter V6 churns out almost 300 HP? Both benefit from fuel injection and ECUs.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

Sorry, Trump supporters, but eventually it will have to be asked: Why didn't Trump do as well in his first term as he is doing NOW?

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

He then asserts :

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.

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

What is the typical mentality of the Indian society?

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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

Can I use ChatGPT to get chapter ideas? I’ll be writing it with my own words but I just get writer’s block when it comes to what to write?

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

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

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.

Do you think the constitution and laws should be taught in school?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

so, what happens?

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

First Sentence:

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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).

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

What is lightning?

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?

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]

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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.

“ 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”

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

I post the exact comment here.

One

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

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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

Barnstars:

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.

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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