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?

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

What are the best Jewish jokes?

I post the exact comment here.

“ 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”

He then asserts :

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

I’m a man. Why do I always fantasize about men’s cock? I don’t want a relationship with the man, I just want to suck his cock.

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

Liberals, why don't you like Conservatives?

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

What are the best recruiting tools available besides Linkedin and job boards?

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.

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

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

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

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.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

One

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

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

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.

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

so, what happens?

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

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.

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

First Sentence:

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

What is lightning?

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

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

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

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

Upvotes:

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

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

There are two important concepts here.

This device then solves the entire problem.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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.

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

eight

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

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