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?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

He then asserts :

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

What is the most gay experience with your dad?

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

so, what happens?

Barnstars:

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

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

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

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

Upvotes:

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.

First Sentence:

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.

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

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

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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.

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.
