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?

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

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

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

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

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

How do scammers communicate? Do they have a specific language or slang?

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.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

“ 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”

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

He then asserts :

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

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

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

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

This one hit behind the barn.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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.

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

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

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

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

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.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

Upvotes:

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

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

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 is a photo where a lightning bolt took out a home's complete mains distribution box, and a lot of electronic gear as well.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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

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

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