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?

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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

Why did Obito, a supposed "bad person," do good things for Kakashi?

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.

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

Why do doctors refuse HRT to menopausal women but hand them out to trans people?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

“ 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”

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

What do you wear when you are alone at home?

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

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

Have you ever been a victim of gaslighting? What happened?

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 it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

What is it like to use a Fleshlight?

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

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

How does one succeed in life?

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.

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

How mentally ill are Republicans who think Trump is mentally sane? He literally said immigrants eat pets.

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

Why do people hate Nickelback so much? What makes them different from other popular bands like Linkin Park, Green Day, etc.? Is it just because they're Canadian or what?

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

What are your thoughts on RM's new album "Right Place, Wrong Person"?

First Sentence:

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

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

It seems that I am cursed with bad luck. How do I break such a curse?

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

nine

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

How do empaths destroy narcissists?

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

This is 'the assistant's 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.

What is lightning?

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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

What does a fuse do?

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

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.

(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.

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

so, what happens?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

There are two important concepts here.

One

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.

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.

He then asserts :

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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