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.

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

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.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”

“ 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”

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, what happens?

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.

Barnstars:

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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