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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

“ 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 “.

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

What is lightning?

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

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

Is Twilight appropriate for a 12-year-old?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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.

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

What does a fuse do?

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

First Sentence:

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

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

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

“ 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”

Edit 2024–10.

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

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 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.

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.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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 circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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