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?

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.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

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

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

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

This device then solves the entire problem.

When have you been in an accident where the other person involved blatantly lied to the police about what transpired?

(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.

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

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

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

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

so, what happens?

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

Barnstars:

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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.

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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”

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

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