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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

so, what happens?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Why do flat Earthers still exist even though it is scientifically proven that the Earth is spherical?

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

OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition 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?".

Undercover cops in New York are riding the subways with iPods on to entice robbery. Is that a form of entrapment? If not, why not?

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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.

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

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

Barnstars:

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

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.

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

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

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

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

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit 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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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