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?

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

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

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

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

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

Why do Trump supporters believe Trump should deport the immigrants? These people you call "illegal immigrants" have lived here for many years, they have houses, jobs, how can you think they will just go back to their country, where they have nothing?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

“ 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”

How do you know when someone really loves you?

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

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

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

Do women lack the mental strength to succeed at STEM? There seems to be few women at STEM and more women leave STEM after a time of working at it. How can it be just sexism if women aren't banned from entering?

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.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

What is lightning?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

so, what happens?

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

There are two important concepts here.

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.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

First Sentence:

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

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

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.

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