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?

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

When did bestiality first occur to you and how did it happen the first time? Was it a deliberate decision or it just happened and you allowed it?

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

He then asserts :

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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

Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

How do you know how physically attractive you actually are?

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

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

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.

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

My cantankerous beagle is very badly behaved at the dog park and always starts barking at the other dogs. Would pepper spray be an effective method to correct his inappropriate behavior?

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

How do I study with focus and concentration and avoid distractions and procrastination?

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

“ 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”

What are your thoughts on the trend of Americans labeling themselves as "TikTok refugees" and migrating to the Chinese social media platform RedNote (Xiaohongshu)?

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

What is lightning?

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

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.

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

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

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.

“ … 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.

so, what happens?

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

There are two important concepts here.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

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.

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

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 device then solves the entire problem.

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

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 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.

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