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?

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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.

Which bands became massively popular for covering songs rather than recording originals?

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.

Will my 9 year old face more difficulties than most girls her age if she’s an early bloomer? My daughter already needs regular B cup bras. The doctor says that my daughter will be even more developed by 11-12 years of age.

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.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

What species of fish are horse mackerels?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

What was your first impression of The Carter V by Lil Wayne? Did it feel like 2008 Wayne, when you heard the first few songs.

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

What's your wildest & weirdest fantasy?

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

I post the exact comment here.

Why are black people harassed more by police officers?

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

“ 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”

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

Do all therapists specialize in one specific type of therapy, or are they trained in multiple types?

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

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

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

What made Sally Field a standout choice for "Smokey and the Bandit" despite her reputation as a serious actress after "Sybil"?

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.

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.

so, what happens?

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.

Why are details for questions here on Quora so limited? I have an account here on Quora and Yahoo Answers. I like discussing different subjects.

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

Has your wife or girlfriend ever been felt up in public by a stranger?

What is lightning?

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

He then asserts :

Does the potential of making Star Wars R-rated movies depend on whether Star Wars have stories that is too dark for PG 13 in Disney?

This device then solves the entire problem.

“ 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.”

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

One

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Edit 2024–10.

First Sentence:

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

Barnstars:

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

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