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?

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.

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

Why do humans sweat while stressed?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Why do certain religions consider menstruating women to be impure? Where did the concept of impurity stem from?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

What topics are okay with you in comics and what topics should be totally off the table?

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

Upvotes:

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

How will the article end in Part III of Gleissner's hit piece?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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.

Its year 2041, and president Hunter Biden has ordered every republican who sweared at him to be arrested and shot. I am on my way to the death row listening to the cheer of the Liberal mob chanting death death death. How can I escape?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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.

Why did the UK Supreme Court rule that transgender women are not women?

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

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

Why is it rare for someone to despise both the Democrats and Republicans?

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

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

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

Why does my narcissistic ex told me that he f*cked and sleep with other woman and then at the end says that it also happened because of me?

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

so, what happens?

He then asserts :

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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.

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

One

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

There are two important concepts 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”

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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