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?

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.

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Are there any more 'nun' jokes?

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

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

How do I build rapport with anybody?

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

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

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%).

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

What are the differences between fuzzy, intuitionistic, and paraconsistent logic? Which one is considered the most useful and why?

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.

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.

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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.

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

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

I post the exact comment here.

so, what happens?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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:

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

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.

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

“ 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”

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

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

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

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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