Which album is your favorite that's now 50 years old (from 1975), and what's the best song on the album?

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

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

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

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

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 are the best self-care practices to improve mental health?

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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).

What does it mean when you dream that your mother died?

Barnstars:

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

Why are some people afraid of monsters?

“ 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”

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

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

What's it like to have an IQ of 140 to 170? Do people notice you're different?

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.

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

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

Do you think it is likely that Maegor was presented a young dragon at some point, almost to the point of full-bonding, only to scorn it for Balerion in the end? If so, which one could it have been?

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

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

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

Making a Diving Catch For Space - NASA Watch

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

After 70 years of the crappiest computers ever made, why does IBM exist?

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

President Trump kicked Zelensky out of the White House. Is it over for a deal?

so, what happens?

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

One

How do I convince flat earthers that the earth is round?

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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 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.

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

What is lightning?

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

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

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.

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

Upvotes:

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

What does a fuse do?

[image of Common-mode choke]

There are two important concepts here.

eight

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

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

First Sentence:

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

nine

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.
