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

Upvotes:

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

Hey girls can we see some anal play?

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

My son is possessed, now he has psychosis. Can someone help me?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

What were the first few days, weeks, months and then years like after finding out about your spouses infidelity? How did your feelings, and yours & their approach to the situation change in the immediate aftermath compared to later down the line?

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

What I have noticed is nearly every girl I try to connect with whom reject me are in their early 20s why is that the case?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

so, what happens?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

How do the police verify the authenticity of an online profile? What methods do they use to determine if a profile is real or fake?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

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

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.

Why are Boomers so vehemently opposed to student loan forgiveness?

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

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.

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

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

What is lightning?

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

He then asserts :

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

One

This one hit behind the barn.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

nine

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

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).

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

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

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.

There are two important concepts here.

“ 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”

First Sentence:

“ 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.”

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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.

Barnstars:

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.

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