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?

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.

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?".

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

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

How is the story of Rukmini Devi described in the Harivamsha, Rukminisha Vijaya and Shrimad Bhagavatam?

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

“ 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”

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

Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?

so, what happens?

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

I took a video of my serve (60 FPS) and it took 0.4 seconds from my racket to the service line. How fast would you say my serve was?

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.

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

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

Why are you a Muslim? Why is it Islam for you and not something else?

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

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

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

I'm a 28-year-old guy who has never been in a relationship, nor can I seem to find someone who wants to be in one with me. Why do I feel like a freak?

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

What does a fuse do?

What is lightning?

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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.

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.

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

I post the exact comment here.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

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 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.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

[image of Common-mode choke]

This device then solves the entire problem.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

This one hit behind the barn.
