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?

One

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

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.

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

so, what happens?

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

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

“ 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”

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

What do flat earthers think about Antarctica?

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

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

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

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.

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

How can one justify in Sweden that total subsidies for public green energy initiatives being approximately 8.2 billion SEK per year? Electric cars at market price typically cost an average of 500,000 SEK which is above household budgets.

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.

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

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

If babies could write, what questions would they ask on Quora?

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.

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

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

Do you think trump realizes that if he significantly decreases the size of CIA, that there is a higher chance of him being assassinated?

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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.

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

Upvotes:

He then describes the function of a fuse.

He then asserts :

First Sentence:

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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 a photo where a lightning bolt took out a home's complete mains distribution box, and a lot of electronic gear as well.

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

What does a fuse do?

What is lightning?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

This device then solves the entire problem.
