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?

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.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

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.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

He then asserts :

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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.

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

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

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

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

so, what happens?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

“ 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”

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

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

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

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

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

2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]

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.

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

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

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

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

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