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?

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

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

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.

Do you think cheating is that bad?

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

How do I confess to my crush who had a traumatic past with his previous partner without losing the friendship?

I post the exact comment here.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

While wearing high heels and walking heel to toe, when the toe box hit the floor there is a noise. How do I keep the noise just for the heel?

What is lightning?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Is OnlyFans good or bad for the society? Why?

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

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

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

“ 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”

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

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

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.

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

so, what happens?

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

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

Barnstars:

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

He then asserts :

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

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

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