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?

but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.
A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.
So, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.

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.

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

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.

He then describes the function of a fuse.
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.
At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.
For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).
How did you become popular in school?
Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.
(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.
He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

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.

It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.
Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".
(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.
The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

What does a fuse do?

But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).
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.
Barnstars:
A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.
This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.
so, what happens?
2024–10–00 [ Ammar Mahdi ] Ammar Mahdi
Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.
the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".
“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”
[image of Common-mode choke]
An AC voltage/ current source, and an ac inductive load.
so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.
OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.
Edit 2024–10.
He then asserts :
First Sentence:
The bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.
The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”
It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.
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.
Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).
What is lightning?

There are two important concepts here.

If the nominal power is 4,000 watts then the current at 230volts is 16 amps.
But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.
One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”
“ … to protect building, lightning arrestor, is provided above building and directly connected to earth.”
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 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.
It’s been three xxx five werks, and there has been no response to my follow on query on his Commment to my answer.
When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.
