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?

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

‘Gas station heroin’ is technically illegal and widely available. Here are the facts - WANE 15

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

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

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.

One day, I happened to walk past where my crush was with friends. Then all of a sudden they start laughing, and someone maybe him, goes "freaking (my name) with her freaking hair!" Can anyone offer insights into this? We're in middle school.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

Kuorans can you write a sad story about kpop?

“ 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”

Barnstars:

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.

I was awaken between 2-3am by a voice that said “Hey”. Literally right next to my ear. Sounded like a males voice, but it wasn’t stern or deep. What could this mean?

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Do people have to be a pastor to baptize?

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

What is lightning?

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

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

so, what happens?

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

Are there any industries or sectors where ChatGPT is particularly well-suited for implementation?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

Why do I feel so down and not happy anymore? I also feel really tired and non-motivated. Is that normal for someone to feel that way?

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.

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

There are two important concepts here.

How can you tell if someone or someone's is trying to recruit or at least test you for a secret organization?

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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.

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

What does a fuse do?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

He then asserts :

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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?

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

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.

Upvotes:

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

The bolt then partially travels down the line to your 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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
