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?

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

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

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

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

What is lightning?

First Sentence:

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

Do you think most people would rather be a certain race or are most people happy with the race they are?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

“ 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”

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

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

Can the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) be reversed?

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

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.

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

I can not sleep. what is the problem?

He then asserts :

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.

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.

What is the best case of “You just picked a fight with the wrong person” that you've witnessed?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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).

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

What is the difference between the terms "Millennials" and "kids"?

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

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

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

Can men and women be friends?

This one hit behind the barn.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

How should one handle a situation where they suspect their partner of cheating, but their partner denies it and claims it is all in their head?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

What does a fuse do?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

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

so, what happens?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

Upvotes:

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.”

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Barnstars:

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.
