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?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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%).

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

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

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.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

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

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

“ 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 is a photo where a lightning bolt took out a home's complete mains distribution box, and a lot of electronic gear as well.

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

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.

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

so, what happens?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

What does a fuse do?

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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

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

2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi

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.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

What is lightning?

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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.

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

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

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

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

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