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?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Why does my best friend call me ugly and act like she’s joking, but today she looked at me and said “I wouldn’t lie to you”? What should I say back to her?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

so, what happens?

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

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 I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.

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

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

What do you do when your family doesn’t care about you?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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.

He then asserts :

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

What does a fuse do?

Has a cop ever said something to you which was completely unexpected?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

“ 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”

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

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

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.

Barnstars:

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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