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 the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.

Who is the most trusted person in your life, and do they have the same trust on you?

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

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

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

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?".

Do you think most people would rather be a certain race or are most people happy with the race they are?

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

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

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

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

Why cant I add weight to my lifts even though im completing my sets? Every time I try to add more weight I cant even complete one rep.

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

He then asserts :

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

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

“ 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”

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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.

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.

What does a fuse do?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

so, what happens?

[image of Common-mode choke]

a photo is worth a thousand words.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

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