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?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

When did bestiality first occur to you and how did it happen the first time? Was it a deliberate decision or it just happened and you allowed it?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

What are some mind-blowing facts that sound unreal but are actually true?

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.

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

Libtards argue Obama deported more people than Trump, but if that were true why weren't they comparing Obama to Idi Amin?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

Can someone write me a sex story?

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.

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

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

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.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.

According to the Gita, how do I abandon fruits of my karma? Should I donate my whole salary and stay hungry?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

One is “what exactly is in 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.

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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.

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

I post the exact comment here.

What is lightning?

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

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

so, what happens?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

One

“ 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”

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

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

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

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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