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.

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

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.

How do I cope with the fact that I will never have a girlfriend?

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

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

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

What would you change in the "Game of Thrones" storyline if you were one of the writers of the TV series?

What is lightning?

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

“ 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”

When North Koreans visit other countries for the Olympics, what stops some of them fleeing away into that host country?

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

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

so, what happens?

What is chudai?

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

He then asserts :

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

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.

Barnstars:

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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:

First Sentence:

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.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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