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?

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

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

Wow! The changeover from President Biden to VP Kamala Harris as candidate could not have been more successful in just 2 days! It was as if they had been planning it. Could they have planned it? Are you excited by the positive Democratic response?

There are two important concepts here.

First Sentence:

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

Why is my vagina swollen, it’s very itchy. I had sex we used protection, but day after it felt like my insides had a heartbeat as well as itching, the pulsing has went away but it is still itchy and my discharge is yellow, i'm 15, what could it be?

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.

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

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

“ 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”

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

How can the citizens of Russia accept the enormous difference between people? The richest 500 Russians own more than the poorest 99.8% of the entire Russian population combined. Why don't we see any protests?

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

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

How do you feel cockroach?

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

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

When do you feel most peaceful ever?

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

What does a fuse do?

He then asserts :

How did the trans issue metastasize within just a decade from being a question of kindness and tolerance to a tiny minority to convulsing a whole society?

This device then solves the entire problem.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

What transforms the philosophical intellect?

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

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

Can anyone or anything overthrow your belief in the Jewish God?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

My waist finally looks like how it did before I had kids but I didn’t lose weight. Why am I still 15 lbs from my starting weight?

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.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

What's your love story?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

I post the exact comment here.

Barnstars:

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

so, what happens?

OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition 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%).

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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 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.

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

What is lightning?

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