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?

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

I always feel very tired after I do some exercises, even after a night's sleep. What's the problem?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He then asserts :

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

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 device then solves the entire problem.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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).

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

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

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

Help. I’m 16 and just got spanked by both of my parents for taking the car. What do I do? I want to run off somewhere but I’m so scared that I’ll get spanked again. I’ve never gotten the paddle before and I’m still scared to sit

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.

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

“ 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”

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

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

One

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.

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?".

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.

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

First Sentence:

What is lightning?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

[image of Common-mode choke]

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

I post the exact comment here.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
