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%).

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

One

First Sentence:

There are two important concepts here.

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

nine

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.

Barnstars:

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

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

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

This device then solves the entire problem.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.

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

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

What is lightning?

“ 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.

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.

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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