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?

This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.
What is lightning?
(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).

There are two important concepts here.

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

2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?
“ … to protect building, lightning arrestor, is provided above building and directly connected to earth.”
Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).
But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).
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.
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.
What does it feel like when a guy cums in your ass?
A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.
the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".

The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”
Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.
First Sentence:
What is your review of Kota Factory Season 3 (TVF Original)?
An AC voltage/ current source, and an ac inductive load.
It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.
What does a fuse do?
Does the Hamas charter specifically call for the death of all Jews and the destruction of Israel?
These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.
But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.
P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.
Is anyone else losing complete respect for the US at this point?
At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
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.
It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.

but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.
so, what happens?
So, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.

This is the picture of an electronic coil of wire wound around a core of magnetic material.
Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".
This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.

Barnstars:
so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.
A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.
He then describes the function of a fuse.
This is 'the assistant's answer'
“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”

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

At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.
There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

If the nominal power is 4,000 watts then the current at 230volts is 16 amps.
(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
He then asserts :
OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.
This one hit behind the barn.
a photo is worth a thousand words.
what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?
For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).
Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.
These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.
When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.
I post the exact comment here.

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.

Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.
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.
Here is a simplified AC power diagram.

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.
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 it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.
It’s been three xxx five werks, and there has been no response to my follow on query on his Commment to my answer.
but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.
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:
Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.
And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.
He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.
So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.
“ 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”
