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?

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

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.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

He then asserts :

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

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Do you think that the Democratic Party of the USA is not fighting back against Trump? And if so, why do you think so?

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

What is your opinion about homosexuality? Do you think that it is by nature or a choice?

“ 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”

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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.

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

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

Why is going on a date today so much different than it was when I was young?

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.

What are the most common signs that a partner will cheat before it happens?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

One

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 I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.

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

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

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

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

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

Barnstars:

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

so, what happens?

[image of Common-mode choke]

I post the exact comment here.

First Sentence:

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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