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?

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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.

What makes you feel guilty the most?

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

Why do flat-earth conspiracy theorists believe that photos from space, including those of satellites, are fake?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

Do you have any fantasies you are ashamed of?

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.”

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

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

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

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

What is lightning?

This device then solves the entire problem.

so, what happens?

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

“ 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.

He then asserts :

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Barnstars:

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

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

First Sentence:

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

Upvotes:

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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).
