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?

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.

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

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

Can I know a love story of a medical student?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

I’m worried I have a bat bite on my hand, I have two small marks about 1 cm apart. I haven’t been in contact with a bat but I’m worried about at night. My fingers have a slight tingling sensation and my arm feels cold but isn’t. Am I ok?

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 the function of a fuse.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

Is it okay if I am not interested to talk to any of my relatives as I saw the real faces in my brother's marriage as none of them helped us rather were a kind of disappointment and were talking bad?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

Edit 2024–10.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

Do you regret being married to your current wife?

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

“ 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”

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

There are two important concepts here.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

First Sentence:

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

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

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.

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

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?

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

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.

so, what happens?

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

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.

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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.

He then asserts :

What is lightning?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
