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?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

Why do women stubbornly refuse to let men lead, even though they are attracted to the man, and the man both loves and desires them? Why do they get angry and blame the man when he gets fed up and walks away, when it's entirely their own fault?

What is lightning?

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

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

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

Why don't I want to talk to my girlfriend when she loves me a lot? I feel bored.

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

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

Is love natural, or is it somehow created?

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

Which one is better to guys, boobs or butt?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

What was the most inappropriate thing your parent caught you doing as a teen? Was in the bedroom, I thought nobody else was home. My sister and I shared that bedroom but I knew she was gone. I didn’t know my dad was home though.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

First Sentence:

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

so, what happens?

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

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

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

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

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.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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

“ 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”

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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