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?

What does a fuse do?

One

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Why don't younger men like older women?

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.

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

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

Do you agree with the characterization of Trump's trial as a "modern day Salem witch trial"? Why or why not?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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.

My boyfriend has a major problem/addiction with watching porn, nude/sex scenes on movies and shows, watching hot young girls on tiktok, Instagram, Twitter, and onlyfans. He hides it and lies about it. Should I be concerned with him cheating? What do?

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

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

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

Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?

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

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

What is so great about Jiraiya?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

My stepdaughter’s mom tells her I’m not a real dance teacher, but my stepdaughter has seen me in action. Why does she still question my abilities?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

Have you been with a stranger yet?

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

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

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.

If our normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, why do we perceive weather in the 90s as "hot?"

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

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

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

Is it true that most Indian men are gay and they just hide their feelings?

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

First Sentence:

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

I am glad you enjoyed my pictures. Do you have any photos to share?

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

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

How common is it for siblings to fight over their parents' inheritance money? What is the best way to handle this type of situation?

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

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

What should I do if I love someone who does not love me?

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

He then asserts :

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

You found a love potion, and your friend tried to use it on an attractive popular girl, but he accidentally dropped it on the neighbors dog. Now the dog won't stop following him. How would you help him?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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).

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

Barnstars:

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

I post the exact comment here.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

Edit 2024–10.

so, what happens?

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.

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

What is lightning?

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

“ 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”

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

This one hit behind the barn.
