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?

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

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.

Is it necessary for people to wear towels while showering at gyms? If so, what are some ways to prevent the towel from slipping off and exposing oneself?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

What are "demonic attacks" and how can one tell when they're happening to them, or someone else? How would one go about dealing with it?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

To prevent ovarian cancers, fallopian tube removal is on the rise - statnews.com

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.

what exactly is a ‘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.

What's the hardest part about marriage that no one ever talks about?

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

What does a fuse do?

There are two important concepts here.

Why do some people dislike rap and hip hop music despite there being poor quality music in every genre?

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

I’m 17 and looking for a girl. What do I do?

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

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 is lightning?

Why don't I get sleep at nights?

This is the picture of an electronic coil of wire wound around a core of magnetic material.

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

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

What do flat Earthers think causes the "magical downward force"?

Barnstars:

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Was Jesus Christ Jewish?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Do "flat-earthers" attempt to sail around the world to prove their theory? Would this support their belief in a flat Earth?

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

so, what happens?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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.

“ 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”

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

He then asserts :

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.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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 non-resetable over current circuit protector.

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.

First Sentence:

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
