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?

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

“ 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”

Delta Force selection is originally based on SAS selection, so why is there no brutal jungle phase for Delta Force? It seems like it's based only on the Brecon Beacons section.

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

There are two important concepts here.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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%).

Are you happy with your life?

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.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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

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

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

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

Can I use ChatGPT to get chapter ideas? I’ll be writing it with my own words but I just get writer’s block when it comes to what to write?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

What is lightning?

If our normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, why do we perceive weather in the 90s as "hot?"

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

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

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.

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

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.

He then asserts :

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.

What does a fuse do?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

One

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

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.

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

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

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

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Edit 2024–10.

so, what happens?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

This device then solves the entire problem.
