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?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

What does a fuse do?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

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

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

Can you tell me a depressing story?

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.

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

Can it be true that people know your name, not your story, they’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through, so take their opinions of you with a grain of salt?

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

Are Indian youths conservative or liberal?

I post the exact comment here.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Edit 2024–10.

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.

He then asserts :

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

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.

“ 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”

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

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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

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

Upvotes:

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Barnstars:

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

First Sentence:

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

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

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

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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

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.

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

There are two important concepts here.
