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?

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

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

so, what happens?

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

My friend asked my crush and he said my crush hates me but not in a rude way. What does that mean?

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

“ 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”

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

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

If sea levels were rising, wouldn't the acreage of coastal salt marshes increase? Are they?

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

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

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

What are your darkest taboo confessions?

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

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

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.

Which is the first MV you watched in Stray Kids?

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

What is lightning?

What is one fantasy you have never told anyone about but really want to do?

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

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

Edit 2024–10.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

He then asserts :

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

First Sentence:

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

What does a fuse do?

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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