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?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Why do people turn a blind eye to bad behaviour if someone is very good looking? Whereas if someone is ugly, they get harshly judged for everything?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

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

Barnstars:

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

There are two important concepts here.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

“ 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”

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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.”

nine

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Upvotes:

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

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

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

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