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?

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

so, what happens?

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.

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.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In your humble opinion, why does the narcissist mistake kindness for weakness in some people?

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

“ 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?

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

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

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

How many girls or guys keep extra pantyhose in their glove box or console of their vehicle?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.”

Why do liberals think same-sex marriage is alright? The Bible makes it very clear that it's not alright to be gay, why can't liberals understand that?

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

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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 asserts :

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

What makes you feel guilty the most?

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

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

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

Is there a type of function where every point has exactly one tangent line passing through it? If yes, what is this type of function called?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.

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.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

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.

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

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

What is lightning?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Barnstars:

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

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

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