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?

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.

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.

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

What AI tools can help students identify and address misconceptions in real-time during self-directed learning?

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

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

What is the happy reality of our generation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

I keep hitting my front tooth with my glass while bringing it to my mouth unintentionally and the nerve in the tooth keeps pulsating. Does hitting the tooth like this cause damage enough that I could lose the tooth?

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

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.

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He then asserts :

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

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

First Sentence:

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

Barnstars:

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

“ 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”

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:
