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 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.

“ 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”

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

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

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

Do you think cheating is that bad?

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

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 describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

Whenever I write a novel, I struggle with the end, should I make it open? Should the good win or the bad win? Sometime I don't even have an ending, what should I do?

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

If people in the UK hate Trump so much, why does he own golf courses there?

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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

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.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

One

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.

Barnstars:

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

There are two important concepts here.

He then asserts :

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

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.

Upvotes:

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

so, what happens?

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

What does a fuse do?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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.”

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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