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?

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

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

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 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.

What was the most inappropriate thing your parent caught you doing as a teen? Was in the bedroom, I thought nobody else was home. My sister and I shared that bedroom but I knew she was gone. I didn’t know my dad was home though.

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

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.

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

What does a fuse do?

Barnstars:

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

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

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

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, 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.

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

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

a photo is worth a thousand words.

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

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

There are two important concepts here.

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

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.”

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.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

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

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

so, what happens?

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.

This one hit behind the barn.

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

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.

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

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

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

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

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

What is 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”
