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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

What are the extra benefits of a smart TV?

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.

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

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.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

so, what happens?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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.

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

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

Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

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

How do you say "have fun" in French?

One

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for 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.

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

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

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

“ 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”

Upvotes:

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

First Sentence:

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

This device then solves the entire problem.

There are two important concepts here.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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.

He then asserts :

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

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