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?

I post the exact comment here.

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

How big is the French Army?

“ 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”

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.

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

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

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

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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.

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

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.

Can you make a fake K-pop group? It can be with any idols.

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

There are two important concepts here.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

He then asserts :

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

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

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

How does prayer impact those in need? Is there evidence that God intervenes and improves situations based on our prayers, or is it a psychological belief?

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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 one hit behind the barn.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

What is lightning?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

Barnstars:

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

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.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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