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?

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

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

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

Why do we often have strong feelings for our twin flames, even if they don't feel the same way? Is there a way to make them realize their true feelings for us?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

Why is dating so frustrating and difficult for a guy?

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

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

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

Would the word literate carry the same meaning with public (common wealth) in 1900 vs today 2020?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

so, what happens?

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.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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 does a fuse do?

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.

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 device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

First Sentence:

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.

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

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

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Barnstars:

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
