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?

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

First Sentence:

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

Why would the state lie about the Earth's shape? We know that it's flat, but why do they lie and tell us that it is a sphere?

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

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.

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

Are there any examples of outdated values in the Bible?

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

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

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

Why do old men think young women and girls would want them over guys their own age?

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

There are two important concepts here.

Someone said that Japanese girls fly to Los Angeles all the time to have fun with black men. Is that true?

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.”

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

Why do entitled people demand that I pick up after my doggo when he goes to the bathroom? Do they not know that doggy doo decomposes & feeds the plants?

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.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Is it possible for a judge to hold someone in contempt for not being able to pay a fine that was imposed during their sentencing hearing?

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

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

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

How do you get a girl to like you?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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.

My ex moved on so fast. How can I overcome the pain?

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.

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

I dreamt my mother had died and I cried so much in my dream. What does it mean?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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.

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

Is it possible for sisters to have different skin, hair colours, and hair types? E.g. hair= wavy, afro, straight, curly, black, brown, blonde, red. Skin colour: brown, peach, light brown and more.

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

What is lightning?

Barnstars:

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

He then asserts :

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

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

so, what happens?

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

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.

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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

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

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

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.
