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?

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

What blowjob techniques do you use for your man to cum inside your mouth?

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.

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

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

“ 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”

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

What is the most memorable thing that happened in your college days?

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

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

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

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

He then asserts :

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.

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

What is lightning?

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.

I post the exact comment here.

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

What does a fuse do?

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

Barnstars:

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

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

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.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Upvotes:

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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

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.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

so, what happens?

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.

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