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%).

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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.

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

“ 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 are the defining characteristics of woke liberals and conservatives in the United States?

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

How do I stop having work crushes because I only keep getting disappointed almost every day as I keep seeing they don’t like me back and won’t ever ask me out?

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?".

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.

First Sentence:

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

Why is India lagging behind China in economic development when India is a democracy while China isn’t?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

“ 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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

Upvotes:

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.

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

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

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

He then asserts :

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

Barnstars:

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.
