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 I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

How would you feel if your friend confided in you that she is cheating on her husband, knowing that he loves her deeply? What emotional and ethical considerations would you grapple with in response to her revelation?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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 other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

Delta Force selection is originally based on SAS selection, so why is there no brutal jungle phase for Delta Force? It seems like it's based only on the Brecon Beacons section.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

so, what happens?

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

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

Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about someone and it was right?

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

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

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

When I buy a house, do I automatically own all items the previous owner failed to remove from the property?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

There are two important concepts here.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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 photo is worth a thousand words.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

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

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

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

What does a fuse do?

One

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.

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

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

“ 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”

I post the exact comment here.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

What is lightning?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
