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?

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

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

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

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

Is there a stereotype that South Indians are physically strong and muscular compared to other regions of India?

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

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

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

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

Why are we explaining today’s “climate change” as driven by human related “green house” gasses when natural “global warming” pushed sea level up to the “shores” of Topeka with no human contribution or even presence? Is Occam’s Rasor applied?

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

What is the kinkiest thing you and your sex partner have done in bed?

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

Barnstars:

so, what happens?

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

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

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.

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

He then asserts :

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

What is lightning?

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

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

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

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

“ 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”

Edit 2024–10.

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.

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

First Sentence:

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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.
