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?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

Have you ever met someone and something seemed so unusual about them but you couldn't put your finger on what it was?

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

Why do some people enjoy being dominated?

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

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.

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

How long will it take Christian president-elect Donald J. Trump to restore our nation's moral values?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

Do opposites attract? How often do you see weird couples like a guy/girl dating someone who is boring with no sense of humor ?

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

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

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

There was this one weird Bollywood movie that was released in the 2000s. Amitabh Bachchan was starring with another actress and the story was about how the old guy (Amitabh Bachchan) fell in love with the young woman. What is the name of this movie?

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

Barnstars:

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

This one hit behind the barn.

I post the exact comment here.

Upvotes:

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

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

eight

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

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

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

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

“ 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”

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

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.

so, what happens?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

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.

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

What does a fuse do?

What is lightning?

First Sentence:

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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