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 where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.

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.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Who has experienced what they called a happy accident (bestiality)?

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

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

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.

so, what happens?

Hi, I’m Jo. My best friend died 2 years ago today. My husband died 6 months later. So, I’m a depressed mess (we were married 28 years) and can’t shake it. Even my Brother is worried. Some days I don’t do anything, and avoid men cause I don’t want to date. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading.

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

Recently, I cleared my JP Morgan coding round. Next, I received mail for a video interview. What kind of questions are asked in this round? How do I prepare myself?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

How has Sanskrit influenced modern Tamil language, particularly in terms of vocabulary?

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

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

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

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

What is lightning?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

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.

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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”

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

He then asserts :

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This one hit behind the barn.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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