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 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.

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

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.

Do interviewers discriminate against a candidate if he or she is overweight (assuming physical fitness is NOT part of the job requirements)?

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.

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

How do you emotionally react to when others seem to feel sorry for you?

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Is something wrong with my discharge? So, when I masturbate, white discharge comes from my vagina, but it's not stretchy, it's pasty. It doesn't smell and I'm not itchy, so I'm sure it's not a yeast infection. Why is it pasty though?

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

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

🔥Why has Prime Narendra Modi become Extremely FRUSTRATED and Highly DEPRESSED because he has NOT been invited by Donald Trump to witness his Oath Ceremony for his INAUGURATION on 20th January as the next PRESIDENT of USA? Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.”

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

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

“ 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”

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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?

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

This one hit behind the barn.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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.

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

He then asserts :
