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?

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?

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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.

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

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

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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 one hit behind the barn.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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).

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.

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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