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?

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

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

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

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

This is 'the assistant's answer'

What misfortune led to an important discovery?

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.

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

He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

If you think “the harder you train, the fitter you’ll get”, you are WRONG, according to this expert—here’s what you need to know - Fit&Well

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

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

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.

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

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

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 photo where a lightning bolt took out a home's complete mains distribution box, and a lot of electronic gear as well.

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

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

Why do I sweat so much at the gym?

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

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

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

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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

He then asserts :

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

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

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

But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.

2024–10–16 [ OO OLAOYE OYEBODE ]

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 “.

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

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

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.

What does a fuse do?

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

2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]

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.

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

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.

A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

This device then solves the entire problem.

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

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:
