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?

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

“ 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 were my 10 favorite great rock albums that were either forgotten or hardly known by the rock community at large during 1965-‘75?

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

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

What is lightning?

What are some signs that someone may be being stalked by an organization or secret society? How can they find out for sure?

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.

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

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

How can Democrats not feel hypocritical when they urge Trump not to be vengeful should be become president when the Democrats are trying to put Trump into prison?

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

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

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

Is it true that people who are possessed by demons cannot see them until the demon is cast out? What is the reason for this?

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

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

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

How many boxes 600 x 400 x 200 go into a 20ft container?

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

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

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.

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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.

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

He then asserts :

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

so, what happens?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

First Sentence:

What does a fuse do?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

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