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?

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

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

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.

What are some ballbusting stories?

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Why do so many men on the internet try to compete with women, or try to "humble" and bash them? There's so many videos across my tiktok and YouTube of men claiming how they're wanting to get back at women and put them in thier place.

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

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

He then asserts :

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

How is a narcissist likely to handle situations when confronted with hard truths about themselves?

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

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.

I'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

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

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.

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.

Do you have any opinion on Japanese writer/actor Yukio Mishima?

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

What was the worst spanking you got growing up?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

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.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

What is lightning?

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

“ 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”

He then describes the function of a fuse.

[image of Common-mode choke]

so, what happens?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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.

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

First Sentence:

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit 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.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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