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?

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?

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

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

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

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

What is the central theme of the entire Bible in one word (if possible)?

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.”

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Have you ever lied to your family? What were the circumstances?

What is lightning?

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

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

I am skinny, I have been doing 100 pushups a day for more than a month and am seeing very few results, everything is so unfair, I workout more than anyone I know and am still skinny, why cant I build muscle?

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.

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

How do you get people to follow your Quora Space?

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

“ 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”

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

If Republicans say that Biden goes to shower with his daughter, how do Democrats support it?

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

Can it be true that people know your name, not your story, they’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through, so take their opinions of you with a grain of salt?

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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.

How do I run away? I'm 15 and live in Oklahoma.

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

First Sentence:

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

What are some healthy ways to start losing weight without risking starvation mode or extreme food restriction?

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

What are some tips for making your husband fall madly in love with you again after going through the worst phase of your marriage?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Upvotes:

(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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

There are two important concepts here.

He then asserts :

This one hit behind the barn.

One

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

so, what happens?

What does a fuse do?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

Barnstars:

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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.

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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.

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