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?

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

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

Do any other guys like to eat cum of another man from their wife's pussy?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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 non-resetable over current circuit protector.

Why is my ex trying to provoke an argument with me?

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

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

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.

Has anyone tried bestiality and been caught?

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

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

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

Why is Roblox so laggy it’s unplayable? My computer is fine and the internet is great.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

Why do British people always write "xxx" after their names?

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

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

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

What methods do private investigators use to investigate someone in real life?

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.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

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

Can cheating be a result of not truly loving or caring for someone, or is it sometimes just a spur of the moment decision?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

Can you share the entire summary of your spiritual life?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Why do women stubbornly refuse to let men lead, even though they are attracted to the man, and the man both loves and desires them? Why do they get angry and blame the man when he gets fed up and walks away, when it's entirely their own fault?

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

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

Why would Joseph Smith say that polygamy was God's law?

Upvotes:

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.

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

Do you even realise that NASA could've hid or bury every single piece of evidence for a flat-earth and exaggerate their evidence? Have you ever question materialist scientific narratives?

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

so, what happens?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

What does a fuse do?

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

First Sentence:

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

“ 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”

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

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

He then asserts :

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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.

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.

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?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
