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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 “.

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.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

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.

so, what happens?

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

There are two important concepts here.

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

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

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

What is lightning?

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Barnstars:

I post the exact comment here.

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

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

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

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

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

First Sentence:

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

He then asserts :

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

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

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