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?

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.

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.

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.

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

so, what happens?

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

Is love natural, or is it somehow created?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

Do you believe that social media companies should allow posts spreading misinformation about election results, as suggested by Rep. Jim Jordan?

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

This device then solves the entire problem.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

I post the exact comment here.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

What is lightning?

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

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