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?

Why are Americans obese? Is it the food or is it the psychology?

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

So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part 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 can I stop overthinking and take action more quickly?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

Why does a college girl cover her face with a scarf in Bangalore?

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.

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

“ 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Why do people still think Michael Jackson was guilty?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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.

Edit 2024–10.

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

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.

I post the exact comment here.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

so, what happens?

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

eight

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

Barnstars:

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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