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?

He then asserts :

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

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

Why cant school buses ditch kids who are late to the bus at the school? Like on the way home, if a kid is late when all the others arrived to the bus on time, why cant they leave the late kid behind since its not fair to the on time kids to wait?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What's your review of "The Queen Who Ever Was," Episode 8 of Season 2 of 'House of the Dragon' (spoilers)?

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

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.

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

Have you ever seen a woman having sex with a dog?

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.

This device then solves the entire problem.

There are two important concepts here.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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.

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

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

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.

“ 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”

(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.

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

I post the exact comment here.

What does a fuse do?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

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

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.
