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?

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

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.

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.

Why all the fuss about Trump’s policy initiatives? Isn’t he just trying to set a moral tone for the Republican Party to make America great again?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

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

How do I become a Buddhist, and can someone explain Buddhism to me?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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

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

so, what happens?

Whenever I write a novel, I struggle with the end, should I make it open? Should the good win or the bad win? Sometime I don't even have an ending, what should I do?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

If you get a chance to have sex with either Kajal Agarwal or Samantha, who would you choose and why?

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

What is lightning?

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.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

“ 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”

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

One

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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