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?

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

so, what happens?

If I only have a fire extinguisher to defend myself against some threat from people, should I spray them for max damage or just hit them with the fire extinguishers?

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?".

Why are white men so obsessed with Asian women? I'm friends with people from all different backgrounds but I never see my other non-white male friends obsess over or talk about Asian women like I've seen the white ones do.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Is BPD real or just an excuse?

a photo is worth a thousand words.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

This is 'the assistant's answer'

[image of Common-mode choke]

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

Who is the most trusted person in your life, and do they have the same trust on you?

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

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.

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

What is lightning?

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

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

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

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

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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

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

Upvotes:

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

“ 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”

Edit 2024–10.

I post the exact comment here.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

He then asserts :

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

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

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 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.

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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.
