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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

How many boxes 600 x 400 x 200 go into a 20ft container?

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

He then asserts :

What is lightning?

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

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

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

One

eight

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

so, what happens?

[old diagram got deleted by accident]

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

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

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

2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]

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 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.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

First Sentence:

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

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

And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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).

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.

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

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

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

“ 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”

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

This one hit behind the barn.

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

What does a fuse do?

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

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