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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Is crossdressing being a transvestite?

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

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

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.

What is one thing you've learned from life?

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

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

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

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

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

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.

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

“ 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”

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

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

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

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

What does a fuse do?

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

nine

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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.

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