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 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.

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

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

What’s the saddest thing you’ve seen at your job?

This device then solves the entire 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.

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.

How do Greeks identify themselves in terms of civilization? Do they feel more connected to Western or Middle Eastern civilization and why?

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

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

Have you ever had a secret crush on anyone?

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

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

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

Can it be true that people know your name, not your story, they’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through, so take their opinions of you with a grain of salt?

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

First Sentence:

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Upvotes:

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

Do airline pilots try to avoid turbulence? How can you tell if your flight has been rerouted due to weather conditions or other factors?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

I post the exact comment here.

Republican Trump is a billionaire, president, won't be held accountable for multiple felonies, and pretty much has whatever he wants. So why is he always whining and crying about stupid, pointless stuff? Is he incapable of happiness?

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

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.

“ 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”

so, what happens?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

He then asserts :

What is lightning?

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.

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

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.

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

There are two important concepts here.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

eight

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

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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

(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 device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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