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?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

First Sentence:

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

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

🔥Why has Prime Narendra Modi become Extremely FRUSTRATED and Highly DEPRESSED because he has NOT been invited by Donald Trump to witness his Oath Ceremony for his INAUGURATION on 20th January as the next PRESIDENT of USA? Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?

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

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

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

What would Spanish sound like if only latin and Greek words were used, like some romance analogy to anglish?

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

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

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

If Donald Trump is so evil and Joe Biden is so good why is Trump the one selflessly providing Bibles for the needy while Biden doesn't? Why doesn't Biden care for America's spiritually needy people as much as Trump?

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

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

He then asserts :

I'm a 28-year-old guy who has never been in a relationship, nor can I seem to find someone who wants to be in one with me. Why do I feel like a freak?

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

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

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

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

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

What is the irony of life according to you?

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

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

The other is “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.

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.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Barnstars:

There are two important concepts here.

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

I post the exact comment here.

Edit 2024–10.

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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

so, what happens?

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.

“ 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”

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

What does a fuse do?

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

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

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.
