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).

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

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

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

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 makes females believe or think abortions are part of a woman’s rights?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

If the Red Pill is supposed to be so bad, why are so many young men buying into it? What about Red Pill makes it appealing to them?

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.”

There are two important concepts here.

Are you afraid of being alone?

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

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

“ 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”

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

What trains transport cars and passengers near Pompano Beach, Florida that goes to New York?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

What's a memory from your childhood that shaped who you are today?

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

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.

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

How do military families handle communication when a service member is injured overseas?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

This device then solves the entire problem.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Adam Scott, nearly 45 years old, with chance to redefine career on U.S. Open Sunday - NBC Sports

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

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.

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.

Fishing is a popular pastime on many US beaches. What is a type of saltwater fish commonly caught from piers or by wading (flounder, redfish, etc.)?

Why are so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

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

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

What does a fuse do?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

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

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

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

He then asserts :

so, what happens?

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

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.

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

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

First Sentence:

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

This one hit behind the barn.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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'

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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