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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

“ 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”

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

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

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?".

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 two important concepts here.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

This is 'the assistant's answer'

Barnstars:

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

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

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

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.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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.

Upvotes:

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.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

I post the exact comment here.

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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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.

He then asserts :

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
