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.

He then asserts :

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

Do you think Trump is a bad a$$? Why or why not?

I post the exact comment here.

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

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.

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

I feel so attached and in love with a dead celebrity. My love for anyone else is overshadowed by my love for him. What does this mean?

“ 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”

First Sentence:

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

How can fashion design be used to make a political statement in popular culture, and society?

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

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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.

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:

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

What is lightning?

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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.

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

Barnstars:

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

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

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

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.

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.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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