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?

He then asserts :

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).

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

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

What is the most overrated pleasure? Why?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Do you think most people would rather be a certain race or are most people happy with the race they are?

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

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

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

Why did it take seven days for troops with helicopters, equipment, supplies, food, and water to be dispatched to southeast storm zones?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

What are the best ways to treat seasonal allergies?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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.

Have you ever been forced into bestiality?

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

What is lightning?

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

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

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

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

Why do very skinny girls get more male attention if it is true that men like curves?

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

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

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

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.

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

One

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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 one hit behind the barn.

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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.

nine

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

First Sentence:

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.

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

Upvotes:

There are two important concepts here.

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.

“ 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”

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?
