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

What is the reason for writing X^2 as XX instead of X*X?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

I am still studying engineering. I feel worried being an average student. Can I get a good job in placement, buy a house, and a car? I don't know why I feel this.

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Dear atheist, do you realise that there is a God watching over you who will one day judge and condemn you for every wrong thing you have said and done before casting you into the lake of fire?

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

Why do you think Islam oppresses women when Christianity clearly does it more?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

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

Is it sinful for Christians to look at beautiful women?

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

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.

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

For an unpublished short story writer, what magazines or online publications offer the best chance of being recognized?

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

First Sentence:

Is it wrong of me to feel uncomfortable that my friend thinks my brother is hot?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

How do Greeks identify themselves in terms of civilization? Do they feel more connected to Western or Middle Eastern civilization and why?

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.

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.

Do very hot men ever feel attracted to an ugly woman? Why?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

Which city should one visit between Nice and Cannes? Why?

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.

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

I have the power to talk to aliens through using telepathy. Why do people think I'm crazy?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.

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?

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

What does a fuse do?

Barnstars:

One

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

Upvotes:

a photo is worth a thousand words.

“ 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”

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

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

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

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

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

so, what happens?

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

What is lightning?

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

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

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

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