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 is lightning?

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

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

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

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

How do so-called Religious/Christian people really think homosexuality is even a sin? That would be nonsense. In fact, LGBT people need love instead of contempt/hatred. The word Homosexual didn't appear until the 1850s.

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

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

He then asserts :

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.

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

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

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

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

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

How can someone effectively handle a targeted individual?

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.

How many wishes do people get on their birthday?

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.

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

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

What is your favourite colour and why?

“ 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 does a fuse do?

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

Why is it that when the Democrats absolutely love everyone to be LGBTP, they don't even acknowledge that Barack Obama and his husband Big Mike are homosexual, and he is the first homosexual president of the USA?

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

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

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

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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 device then solves the entire problem.

so, what happens?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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 device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”

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