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?

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

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

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

What happens when you have paranoid schizophrenia?

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

What is lightning?

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

I live in Massachusetts. Are there any resources here for people that are being harassed by voice to skull, etc.?

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

so, what happens?

I’m worried I have a bat bite on my hand, I have two small marks about 1 cm apart. I haven’t been in contact with a bat but I’m worried about at night. My fingers have a slight tingling sensation and my arm feels cold but isn’t. Am I ok?

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

This is a photo where a lightning bolt took out a home's complete mains distribution box, and a lot of electronic gear as well.

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.

How are Hinduism and Sikhism related, considering they both originated in Punjab, India?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

(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 sex with sisters?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

Why am I totally different than others? Why do I have a problem with my basic knowledge about society and reality? Why am I dumb and stupid?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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”

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

First Sentence:

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

What does a fuse do?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

Barnstars:

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.

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.

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.

He then asserts :

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

I post the exact comment here.

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