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?

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

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.

Why am I peeing so much without drinking a lot of water? I checked my blood sugar and it is normal. Could it be something else?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

Most people obey arbitrary rules even when it's not in their interest to do so, experiments show - Phys.org

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

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

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

What do you think of a parent telling their adult child to “keep their personal life to themselves” in relation to talking to them? No reason they should say that it was mean what should I do?

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

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.

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

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

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

If you could go back and rewrite the Legend of Korra, what would you change, and why?

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

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.

Why is my ex trying to provoke an argument with me?

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

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

My wife always forces me to suck my bulls dick and balls and even Lick his cum from her face and tits and they even humiliate me very badly plus she always talks about big Dicks everywhere everytime and show me pics of huge cocks what should I do ?

There are two important concepts here.

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.

Who is someone that inspires you?

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

What does a fuse do?

“ 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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

This is a real question: Why do a lot of men/boys hate (yes, hate) women that voice their criteria in choosing a partner? Even when the criteria is sane and responsible. Besides it being, sadly, an effective mating strategy, why does it exist?

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 “.

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

What is lightning?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

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.

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.

First Sentence:

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

so, what happens?

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

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

“ 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.

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

Edit 2024–10.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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