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?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

What was the worst spanking you ever got? Why did you get it, and how was it given to you?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

What is the meanest thing your husband has said to you?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Have you ever witnessed political correctness harm someone?

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

Why do I sometimes hear full conversations when I am alone?

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.

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.

The Big Bang myth Our origins will always elude us - UnHerd

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

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

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

Why do US military soldiers/officers have a chest full of medal ribbons when they probably haven't been in a combat situation? Are the medals for attendance, good behaviour, or long service perhaps?

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

What is lightning?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

First Sentence:

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

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

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

He then asserts :

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

Barnstars:

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

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.

“ 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”

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

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

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

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

so, what happens?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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