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?

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

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

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 concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).

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

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.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

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

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.

Has a conversation with someone who holds opposing political views ever caused you to change your own beliefs?

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

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

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

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

Where did the false claim that Haitian immigrants are eating pets come from?

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

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.

What does a fuse do?

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

Why do people keep complaining about how some people copy and paste the question before answering it? To me, it's very disturbing and makes me want to block and mute them as annoying whiners.

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

He then asserts :

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

First Sentence:

There are two important concepts here.

so, what happens?

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Edit 2024–10.

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

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

“ 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”
