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

What is lightning?

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

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

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

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

Does anyone wear see-through clothes to show off underwear?

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

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

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

What should I do to get over a relationship?

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

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

so, what happens?

“ 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”

There are two important concepts here.

What does a fuse do?

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:

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

Upvotes:

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

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.

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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

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

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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