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?

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

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 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.

Isn’t freedom of speech and expression an absolute right?

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

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

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

Why is there so much evil in the world?

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

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

Do you suck dicks with no reciprocation?

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.

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

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

How might an Indian girl respond to someone saying "I love you"?

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

Barnstars:

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

Why are Republicans so brainwashed and oblivious to the fact that a lot of the price increases going on right now is due to corporate greed, not inflation?

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

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.

Why is there a "double standard" applied to sex between a dog and a human? Why is it that to many who are at least mildly okay with bestiality, a WOMAN having sex with a male dog is fine, but a guy with a female dog is not?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

What do you like about McDonald's?

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

What is lightning?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

so, what happens?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Is it okay or problematic to be both Black and gay in society in the 21st century?

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

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

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

What are some ways to identify and avoid logical fallacies, such as straw man and red herring, in an argument?

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

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.”

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

What does a fuse do?

“ 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”

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

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

Upvotes:

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

There are two important concepts here.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

First Sentence:

This one hit behind the barn.

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 describes the function of a fuse.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.
