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?

What is lightning?

so, what happens?

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

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.

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.

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

While wearing high heels and walking heel to toe, when the toe box hit the floor there is a noise. How do I keep the noise just for the heel?

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

What does a fuse do?

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

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

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.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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

nine

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

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