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?

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

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

Why is there a "double standard" applied to sex between a dog and a human? Why is it that to many who are at least mildly okay with bestiality, a WOMAN having sex with a male dog is fine, but a guy with a female dog is not?

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

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

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

What happens when your partner doesn't see the value in you and continuously hurts you by searching for something in others knowing it hurts you?

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

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.

How do I stop someone from forcing/pestering me to become gay/bisexual when I already want to be straight?

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

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.

I post the exact comment here.

How do I rat my boss out for serial cheating on his wife?

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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Why do a lot of women have a crush on my boyfriend when they know he is in a relationship with me? I am starting to feel insecure too. What should I do?

First Sentence:

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

Does a narcissist ever get their comeuppance/karma for the vile things they've done? Such as cheating, smear campaign, etc.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

When British people write X after everything, are they being serious or trying not to be awkward?

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

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

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

What would happen if Kakashi and Naruto switched places?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

Are there any penalties for bestiality in the USA and laws prohibiting it?

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

There are two important concepts here.

Barnstars:

Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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.

Why do untreated borderlines always blame their partners when they actually think they are normal?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

What should I do? I'm 17 and I'm dating a 23-year-old guy.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

(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.

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

What is lightning?

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

One

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

so, what happens?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

What does a fuse do?

He then asserts :

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

“ 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”

[image of Common-mode choke]

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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 is a photo where a lightning bolt took out a home's complete mains distribution box, and a lot of electronic gear as well.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
