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.

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

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

Are democrats inherently stupid or just lazy? They can Google " Ohio is investigating reports by residents that migrants are eating the local wildlife " why can't they seem to do the most simple things? Blind, ignorant, stupid or obtuse?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

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

Do you think the beginning of movies is often better than the rest of the film? Is this a common opinion or do others share this view?

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

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

“ 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”

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

Are there any political parties or groups that have a mix of conservative and liberal beliefs? Why are they not as prominent in the media?

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

Why does my vagina always itch so badly after my periods?

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

I am skinny, I have been doing 100 pushups a day for more than a month and am seeing very few results, everything is so unfair, I workout more than anyone I know and am still skinny, why cant I build muscle?

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

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.

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

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

Romania in the past was a poor country, but last year the government announced it had 521 billion leu (113$ billion dollars) revenue. Why is so much? What's the reason?

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

What is the typical mentality of the Indian society?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

He then asserts :

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.

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

One

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

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

There are two important concepts here.

I post the exact comment here.

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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.
