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?

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

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

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

What have you learned from your parents' mistakes?

What is lightning?

What does a fuse do?

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

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.

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

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

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.

What are some questions obviously just asked for sexual gratification?

He then describes the function of 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.

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

If we do not know the name of the father of a child, e.g. a foundling, an illegitimate, etc., then to whom should the bin or the binti of the child's name be applied?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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.

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

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

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.”

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

Is the saying "nice guys finish last" true? Can good intentions always lead to positive outcomes?

He then asserts :

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

There are two important concepts here.

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

One

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.

eight

so, what happens?

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.

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

Barnstars:

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

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

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.

This device then solves the entire problem.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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?".

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