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?

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Have you ever gone to a porn theater with your wife?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

What are your controversial and hot takes on Naruto?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Why are many women so drawn or attracted to men that have been or are currently in prison and men that are involved in street life/illegal activities?

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

Why did lobsters evolve bright colors if they are neither poisonous nor venomous?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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.

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Why do black people prefer thick, curvy women?

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

He then asserts :

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

Artists get better with age, e.g., painting. Yet when it comes to pop music, the famous work tends to be written when musicians are in their twenties. So, why aren't Bob Dylan or the Stones banging out amazing tunes now?

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.

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

I post the exact comment here.

Why do people hate on Serena (anime character)? What did she ever do to anyone except be a good friend to Ash Ketchum and an awesome trainer herself?

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

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

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

The world of the Harry Potter series is usually considered bad worldbuilding. What are some examples of actually good worldbuilding in the books/movies?

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

There are two important concepts here.

Why is Trump so disliked worldwide?

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

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

Could the guys here tell me how their first experience with a trans woman was? Who was the lady to you? ( I mean girlfriend, one night stand, etc.) I just had my first experience recently and I would like to know about others?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This one hit behind the barn.

How do Flat Earthers explain time zones?

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

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

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

Why am I so jealous towards couples? Why am I tired of being single and feel my life is over?

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

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

How can we worship Shri Krishna at home? Is it enough to install an idol, or are there other rituals that are mandatory?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

What do you think of the Black history lessons in the PBS documentary about jazz pianist-singer Hazel Scott?

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.

Edit 2024–10.

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

What is lightning?

“ 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 does a fuse do?

so, what happens?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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?

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
