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?

First Sentence:

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

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

Why are so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

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

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

Is there an MBTI personality that is more or less likely to handle stress?

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.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Why do so many men on the internet try to compete with women, or try to "humble" and bash them? There's so many videos across my tiktok and YouTube of men claiming how they're wanting to get back at women and put them in thier place.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

Why do women stubbornly refuse to let men lead, even though they are attracted to the man, and the man both loves and desires them? Why do they get angry and blame the man when he gets fed up and walks away, when it's entirely their own fault?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

What makes Nigerian scammers skilled at impersonating people? Is their success a result of intelligence or other factors?

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

I post the exact comment here.

The other is “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.

Why are girls supposed to have a stereotypical "hourglass" body shape, and why if you dont have an "hourglass" body shape you get treated differently? It doesnt make any sense to me.

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

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

What made you feel satisfied about your life today?

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

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

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

Why do men like women gold diggers?

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

He then asserts :

I want to have anal sex, but my wife refuses. What do I do?

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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

“ 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”

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

What does a fuse do?

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

What is lightning?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

so, what happens?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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

Upvotes:

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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.

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