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?

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

How did Neo defeat the architect at the end of The Matrix: Reloaded? Was it solely due to his belief in himself or were there other factors at play?

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

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

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

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).

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.

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

What does it mean when someone tells you they love you and want you in their life, but doesn't want to commit?

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

Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Why do so many people seem to hate Nickelback? They're competent and entertaining, and while they certainly aren't the absolute best music, they're still a fun listen.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

I am interested in gang stalking tactics. How do covert agents use street theater and false narratives to torment targeted individuals?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

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.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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 “.

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

so, what happens?

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

I post the exact comment here.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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.

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