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?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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.

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

One is “what exactly is in 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.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

I post the exact comment here.

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

“ 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”

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

What does a fuse do?

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

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

What is lightning?

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 it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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.

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

so, what happens?

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

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

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.

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

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit 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.
