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?

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

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

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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

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 other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

so, what happens?

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

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

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.

He then asserts :

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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.

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

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.

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

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

Edit 2024–10.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.
