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?

This device then solves the entire problem.

What does a fuse do?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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.

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

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

Why does it smell so bad? I noticed that when I move around my vagina has a stench. It’s usually a wet liquid, almost like pee. There’re little to no discharge and it doesn’t hurt or itch.

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

What is lightning?

What would you do if you were lost at sea in the Florida Keys?

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

There are two important concepts here.

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

First Sentence:

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

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

Do you remember one day, you put a deep smile on someone's face and made them very happy?

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

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

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

If I only have a fire extinguisher to defend myself against some threat from people, should I spray them for max damage or just hit them with the fire extinguishers?

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.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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

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

Barnstars:

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

This one hit behind the barn.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

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