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 non-resetable over current circuit protector.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

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'

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Could some kind lady post me a photo of her hairy spread pussy? It has become extremely difficult to find new amateur photos and I would be infinitely grateful.

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

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

Barnstars:

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

First Sentence:

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

“ 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”

Upvotes:

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.

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

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.

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