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 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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

This device then solves the entire problem.

What is the most inappropriate experience you have had with a friend's daughter?

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.

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

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

If you believe in God, do you think God can save you from cancer?

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?".

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

What is lightning?

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

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

What can melt your heart?

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

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

First Sentence:

Why do some people never get to on a date even though they wanted to? Are they just too ugly and weird for everybody?

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.

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

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

What is your favourite summer outfit? Why?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

Why is fitness important?

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

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

Why didn't my ex fight for our relationship? He gave up so easily.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

How long can someone with narcissistic tendencies maintain a facade of fake love before their true self is revealed? Is there a specific trigger or amount of time that causes them to reveal their true nature?

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

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.

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

so, what happens?

“ 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”

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

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.

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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.

What does a fuse do?

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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 circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

This one hit behind the barn.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

Barnstars:

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

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

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.

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

He then asserts :

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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