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).

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

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

Why is my vagina swollen, it’s very itchy. I had sex we used protection, but day after it felt like my insides had a heartbeat as well as itching, the pulsing has went away but it is still itchy and my discharge is yellow, i'm 15, what could it be?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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.

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.

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.

What does a fuse do?

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

What is lightning?

Edit 2024–10.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

Upvotes:

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

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

so, what happens?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

“ 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”

There are two important concepts here.

He then asserts :

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.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
