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, what happens?

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

Is it okay to pay 12,000 SEK for rent 67m² furnished house for 2 people in Jönköping, Sweden? It also includes electricity, internet, heating, and water expenses.

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

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?".

Why would Joseph Smith say that polygamy was God's law?

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

There are two important concepts here.

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 bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.

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

What are some tips for keeping a durag on for a longer period of time?

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

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

What is the worst name in Tolkien’s legendarium (meaning and look)?

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

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

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.

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

Upvotes:

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

What does a fuse do?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

I post the exact comment here.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

Barnstars:

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 describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

First Sentence:

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