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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Trump always acts like he was forced to be president, that he was chosen by God. Why do we put up with this? This maniac can't focus and get his mind off of being asskissed like an emperor.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.”

How old is planet Earth? Is it 4.5 billion years old or 6,000 years old?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

What kind of lights would you like to use for your home decor?

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

There are two important concepts here.

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.

If our normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, why do we perceive weather in the 90s as "hot?"

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

A protestant (one that adheres to sola scriptura) disagrees with a catholic. How do they propose resolving the dispute?

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

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.

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

How can I get my ex-husband to love me again?

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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.

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

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

He then asserts :

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

What is lightning?

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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.

“ 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”
