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).

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?

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

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

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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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 bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.

What is lightning?

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

What is your craziest/worst Halloween story?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Barnstars:

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 photo is worth a thousand words.

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

He then describes the function of a fuse.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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

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.

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

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

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

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

One

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

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

so, what happens?

What does a fuse do?

He then asserts :

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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.

I post the exact comment here.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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