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?

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

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

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

Why did Obito, a supposed "bad person," do good things for Kakashi?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

When will dating stop being so hard for Gen Z?

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

I am interested in gang stalking tactics. How do covert agents use street theater and false narratives to torment targeted individuals?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

It seems that I am cursed with bad luck. How do I break such a curse?

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

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

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

What were the first few days, weeks, months and then years like after finding out about your spouses infidelity? How did your feelings, and yours & their approach to the situation change in the immediate aftermath compared to later down the line?

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

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

Do most men prefer curvy women or skinny women?

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 I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.

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

Do married men know when their wives are having affairs?

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

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

What was your wildest experience as a lesbian?

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.

First Sentence:

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

Will Kamala Harris rekindle the business model of sleeping your way to the top?

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.

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?

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

so, what happens?

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Edit 2024–10.

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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

He then asserts :

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

What is lightning?

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

What does a fuse do?

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.

“ 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”

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

One

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

eight

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