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?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

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

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

How do I stop having work crushes because I only keep getting disappointed almost every day as I keep seeing they don’t like me back and won’t ever ask me out?

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.

What disturbed you today?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

What is truer than that which is true?

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

What does a fuse do?

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

Why is my ping so high in 1 Roblox game but not the other ones? I am also not laggy in my own private server. What is happening?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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.

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.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

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.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

Upvotes:

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

Barnstars:

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

What is lightning?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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