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?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.

As measles spreads across the Americas, outbreaks in Mexico and Canada have also turned deadly - CNN

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Why do people hate on Serena (anime character)? What did she ever do to anyone except be a good friend to Ash Ketchum and an awesome trainer herself?

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

Is love natural, or is it somehow created?

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

Is it true that LGB should drop T?

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

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

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

What do you think of a parent telling their adult child to “keep their personal life to themselves” in relation to talking to them? No reason they should say that it was mean what should I do?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

One is “what exactly is in 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.

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

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

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

He then asserts :

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

This device then solves the entire problem.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:
