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?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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?

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

I like this guy and his personality is AMAZING. He’s everything I want EXCEPT I’m not 100% attracted to him. I’ve dated some really hot guys and I’m wondering if that’s ruined dating for me? What do I do?

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Why do so many guys love anime girls?

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

“ 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”

What is your opinion? I am 150-152 and I feel short. I’m 15 years old. I feel like this makes me look like a baby and ugly on most clothes.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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 was Super Buu so afraid of having Fat Buu torn out and becoming Kid Buu if he was going to destroy the Earth even before his transformation?

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

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

Do you think trump realizes that if he significantly decreases the size of CIA, that there is a higher chance of him being assassinated?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

so, what happens?

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

Do you have any fantasies you are ashamed of?

What does a fuse do?

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

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

What are your political and economic beliefs? How did you form them, especially in comparison to those who hold opposing views?

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.

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

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

Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?

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

What is lightning?

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

I want to touch my sister’s boobs. What do I say?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

Edit 2024–10.

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

What is the belief about the existence of past lives and memories? Do we have knowledge of our past lives at birth or does it come back to us gradually?

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.

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

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.

Why can't the US government force this new deep seek to not operate in the USA for security reasons? People's personal information will be available to China like TikTok was.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

While wearing high heels and walking heel to toe, when the toe box hit the floor there is a noise. How do I keep the noise just for the heel?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

He then asserts :

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

Barnstars:

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

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

There are two important concepts here.

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

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.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

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

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.

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

I post the exact comment here.

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