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?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

How do you fight the push and pull (manipulation) tactic if you want to win him?

What does a fuse do?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

Doesn't Musk hire Security for his Tesla dealerships?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

I’ve often wondered why fans aren’t deployed on GBBO during warm weather? I’ve seen too many desserts melt (and bakers too…). (I live in Pompano Beach and we try to use fans in lieu of AC as much as possible).

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

Is it possible for sisters to have different skin, hair colours, and hair types? E.g. hair= wavy, afro, straight, curly, black, brown, blonde, red. Skin colour: brown, peach, light brown and more.

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

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

I have BPD. Why do I destroy everyone I love?

First Sentence:

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

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

How should you handle a situation where your friend tells you they like someone who also likes you? Should you tell them or continue as normal?

There are two important concepts here.

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.

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

How severely should I get punished? Please describe throughly. Today I got my result of my test nd I found out that I failed in 2 subjects, my parents are currently in abroad nd I lied to them about the fail but I feel guilty now.

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

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

“ 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”

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

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

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

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

He then describes the function of 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.

Barnstars:

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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.

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.

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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.

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

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

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

He then asserts :

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

One

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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 device then solves the entire problem.

so, what happens?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

What is lightning?
