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?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

What is lightning?

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

What is the definite integral of x^x from 0 to 2?

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

My boyfriend wants to break up over too many petty arguments. To me, they are molehills because I truly love him & don't really think twice about them. If he loved me would he work through it?

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

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

Since the rise of feminism, the dating market has shifted to the disadvantage of men and that is causing this incel phenomenon. Why do women not understand how lonely the majority of men are?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

What does a fuse do?

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

Was Michael Jackson really an innocent person?

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

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

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

Is it ethical for same-sex couples to raise children?

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.

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

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 does my crush always looks at me in a sad way whenever I talk with other boys, and if he catch me staring on him then he go and flirt with other girls and then check if I am looking at him?

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

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

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

“ 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”

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.

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

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

Edit 2024–10.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and 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.

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

Barnstars:

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 circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

He then asserts :

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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

One

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

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

First Sentence:

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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