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.

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.

“ 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”

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

Why do some men like older women?

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

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

What does a fuse do?

What nonsense did you hear today in India that made you laugh?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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.

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

so, what happens?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

What is lightning?

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

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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