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 other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

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

This one hit behind the barn.

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.

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

I am still studying engineering. I feel worried being an average student. Can I get a good job in placement, buy a house, and a car? I don't know why I feel this.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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.

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

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

What does a fuse do?

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

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 is a real question: Why do a lot of men/boys hate (yes, hate) women that voice their criteria in choosing a partner? Even when the criteria is sane and responsible. Besides it being, sadly, an effective mating strategy, why does it exist?

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.

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.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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

What is lightning?

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

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

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

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

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

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

“ 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”

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

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

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

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

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

There are two important concepts here.

Upvotes:

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

so, what happens?

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

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.

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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