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?

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

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

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

Why do we exist, and why are we conscious?

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

Why do some people tell the girl I like that I don’t like her when I do like her?

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

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.

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

What are the beliefs of those who think climate change is a conspiracy theory? What do they predict will happen if we do not address it?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

Does any other guys get turned on by dick pic makes you lick lips because you what to suck?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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

What thing happened to you as a child that you haven’t let go of to this day?

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

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

What did your sister do to you that you can never forget?

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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?

He then asserts :

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

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

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

What defines the k'vanna of the Book of בראשית?

“ 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.

so, what happens?

I post the exact comment here.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

What is lightning?

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.

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

First Sentence:

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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