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?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

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

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

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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.

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

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

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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.

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

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.

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

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

“ 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”

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

What is lightning?

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

Edit 2024–10.

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

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

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

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

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

[image of Common-mode choke]

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.

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