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 devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.
The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”

Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.
(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.
At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.
Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.

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.
“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”
If the nominal power is 4,000 watts then the current at 230volts is 16 amps.
What blowjob techniques do you use for your man to cum inside your mouth?
There are two important concepts here.
P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.
But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.

Here is a simplified AC power diagram.
Why do so many people like life?
Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.
I post the exact comment here.

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

Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".
A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).
So, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.
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.

“ 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”

What does a fuse do?
“ … to protect building, lightning arrestor, is provided above building and directly connected to earth.”
This is 'the assistant's answer'
It’s been three xxx five werks, and there has been no response to my follow on query on his Commment to my answer.
Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).
This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.
so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.
but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.
He then asserts :
OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.
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.
The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.

First Sentence:
An AC voltage/ current source, and an ac inductive load.
There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
This is the picture of an electronic coil of wire wound around a core of magnetic material.
Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.
So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.
These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.
In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:
a photo is worth a thousand words.
so, what happens?
This device then solves the entire problem.
Upvotes:
And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.
So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.
Barnstars:
At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.
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.
[old diagram got deleted by accident]
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.
For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).
The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”
2024–10–14 [Omar Gharbi Omar Gharbi ]
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.
2024–10–11 [Victor Olarewsju Victor Olarewaju ]
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.
He then describes the function of a fuse.
A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.
But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.
Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.
2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]
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.
