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?

This one hit behind the barn.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

“ 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”

Why am I sweating so much when I try to do anything?

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.

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

Why do people love to live alone in a house?

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

Barnstars:

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

What does it mean when your husband comments and likes other women on social media? He has private IG and TikTok accounts that I have no access to. He has saved videos and pictures of women on his phone.

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

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

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

If you were to bet, will Canada bend over to Trump's America demands or remain inflexible until the last day of his Presidency on January 20, 2029? Will America or Canada win this geopolitical arm-wrestling? I'm rooting for America.

He then asserts :

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.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

Did you ever receive genuine remarks from a medium regarding your deceased relative with information that the medium could never normally know?

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.

so, what happens?

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

Have you ever been forced into bestiality?

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

When was the last time you had sex with someone much older than yourself?

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

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

Why do I sweat so much after shower?

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

There are two important concepts here.

Edit 2024–10.

What is your review of "Regent", episode 5 of Season 2 House of the Dragon?

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

Can men and women be friends?

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

Why does my vagina smell sort of fishy/musty days after sex when my boyfriend ejaculates in me? There isn’t any itching or burning when urinating, so I don't think I have BV. It just doesn't smell like me.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

One

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

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).

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

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

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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

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.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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.

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?

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

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

What is lightning?

eight

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

First Sentence:

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