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?

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

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

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

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 where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.

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.

Can bosses get fired for being too hard on employees?

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.

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

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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

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

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

He then asserts :

What is lightning?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

so, what happens?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Upvotes:

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