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?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

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.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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

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

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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?

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

It’s been three xxx five werks, and there has been no response to my follow on query on his Commment to my answer.

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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.

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

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

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

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.

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

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

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

2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

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

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

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

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

I post the exact comment here.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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