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?

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

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.

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

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

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

What is the naughtiest fantasy that you've lived out?

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

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

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.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

Have you experimented with bestiality?

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

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

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

He then asserts :

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.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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.

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

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

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).

There are two important concepts here.

What is lightning?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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.

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

The other is “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?".

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

It’s been three xxx five werks, and there has been no response to my follow on query on his Commment to my answer.

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

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

One

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

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.

First Sentence:

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

“ 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”

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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