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?

What does a fuse do?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Recently, I cleared my JP Morgan coding round. Next, I received mail for a video interview. What kind of questions are asked in this round? How do I prepare myself?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

I post the exact comment here.

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

“ 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 photo is worth a thousand words.

What was the weakest period in US history in terms of military strength? Was it during World War II or the Vietnam War?

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.

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

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.

Which is better, a naked picture of some one you know or porn videos?

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

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Why is the First Amendment referred to as a right to free speech instead of an immunity from punishment for one's words, regardless of their truthfulness?

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

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

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

What are the reasons for people being banned from social media sites like Twitter and Instagram? Why is it considered a big deal?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

Do you think Trump is a bad a$$? Why or why not?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

What is your favourite colour and why?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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.

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

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

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 one hit behind the barn.

There are two important concepts here.

One

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

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

He then asserts :

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is lightning?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

eight

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

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