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?

There are two important concepts here.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Can you explain the difference between God and atma according to the Bhagavad-Gita?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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.

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

What is one thing nice you did for someone today or something they did for you?

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

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.

He then asserts :

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?

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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.

What are women's true thoughts and feelings on bestiality?

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit 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.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

What is lightning?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

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

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

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.

Why do we exist, and why are we conscious?

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Edit 2024–10.

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

What does a fuse do?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Sorry, Trump supporters, but eventually it will have to be asked: Why didn't Trump do as well in his first term as he is doing NOW?

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Atheists who said that reading the Bible made them an atheist, how? Literally there are millions of people who read the Bible daily and still believe in God. So why say that? I mean unless you want to sound smart & edgy

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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

(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.”

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

“ 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”

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

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

First Sentence:

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

I post the exact comment here.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
