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?

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

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

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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

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

Is the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting a preview of what the US is going to do to Taiwan?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

Has anyone experienced an out of the body experience, as a child, years before you had ever heard the term or understood the implications?

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.

He then asserts :

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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.

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

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

eight

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

“ 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”

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.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

What is lightning?

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

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