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 it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

First Sentence:

Why are black people seen as scary or a threat to some people?

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.

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

How can one learn to talk frankly?

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

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

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

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

The bolt then partially travels down the line to your 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?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

This device then solves the entire 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.

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

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

“ 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”
