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?

This one hit behind the barn.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Has anyone tried bestiality and been caught?

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%).

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.

Edit 2024–10.

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.

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.

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

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

Could the guys here tell me how their first experience with a trans woman was? Who was the lady to you? ( I mean girlfriend, one night stand, etc.) I just had my first experience recently and I would like to know about others?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

What are some effective ways to cope with loss and grief?

“ 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”

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

What would it take for you to consider yourself a "Swiftie" like Flavor Flav?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

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

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

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

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

What is lightning?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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).

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

There are two important concepts here.

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

I post the exact comment here.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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

First Sentence:

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

What does a fuse do?

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

He then asserts :

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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