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?

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

Upvotes:

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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.

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

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

Why can't NASA just bite the bullet and launch a plainly simple mission, audited by flat earther peers start to finish that definitively proves to even the smallest minds that the earth is an oblong spheroid, and not flat?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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.

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

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

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.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

One

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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

“ 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”

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

Barnstars:

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

What does a fuse do?

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

I post the exact comment here.

Edit 2024–10.

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