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 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.

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

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

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

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

Is there a type of function where every point has exactly one tangent line passing through it? If yes, what is this type of function called?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Why am I losing interest to get a job and to all my desires because of this spiritual awakening? How do I get through life because of it?

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.

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

I post the exact comment here.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

How do I run away? I'm 15 and live in Oklahoma.

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

One

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

How mentally ill are Republicans who think Trump is mentally sane? He literally said immigrants eat pets.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Is using an ambulance really free in countries with universal healthcare, or are there hidden costs like deductibles that people should know about?

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

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

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

How do you view men and women who cheat?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

What was your worst experience while living with roommates?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

What does it feel like to "lose your looks" to age?

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

so, what happens?

What does a fuse do?

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

eight

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

“ 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”

What is lightning?

He then asserts :

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

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.
