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?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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 is the government destroying the homeless instead of helping them?

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

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

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

Why do untreated borderlines always blame their partners when they actually think they are normal?

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

What could be the result if I block a covert narc back after he said blocks were going back up, maybe we try this again?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

so, what happens?

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

How often do you watch the news on TV?

Barnstars:

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

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

Why do trans people get so deeply offended when a stranger misgenders them, especially when it's a first encounter? I've been socially transitioned for 4 years and it just feels like a waste of energy to be so hurt by it.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

What are some difficulties in a JEE aspirant's life?

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.

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

What are some signs that someone may be being stalked by an organization or secret society? How can they find out for sure?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in life, and how has it impacted your journey so far?

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

Where did Kamala Harris learn how to change positions so quickly? Did she learn it from working in the world's oldest profession?

What does a fuse do?

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

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.

I have BPD. Why do I destroy everyone I love?

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 other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

Can someone write me a sex story?

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.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

Edit 2024–10.

He then asserts :

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

I post the exact comment here.

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.

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

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?

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

One

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

“ 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%).

First Sentence:

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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

What is lightning?

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

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.
