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?

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

Do you remember one day, you put a deep smile on someone's face and made them very happy?

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

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

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

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

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.

He then asserts :

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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.

When writing a novel, how can a character be developed well, but QUICKLY?

so, what happens?

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

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.

Can you give an example of a documentary where the person telling the story believed it to be true, but it turned out to be false?

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

You guys are talking about having sex with dogs. I heard a news man was trying to have sex with a female dog and got stuck inside. Is that possible? How does it feel inside a dog’s vagina?

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.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

There are two important concepts here.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

© you're so funny!

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

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

Why cant I sleep even tho I am sleepy? I am not anxious or worried but my body just doesn't want to. I've been awake for almost 2 days and feel sleepy but I cant sleep. My doctor said its anxiety related but its not. Is this normal?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

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

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

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

What is lightning?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

He then describes the function of a fuse.

“ 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”

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

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.
