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.
At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.

So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.
“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”
The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”

For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).
What does a fuse do?
The bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.

“ … to protect building, lightning arrestor, is provided above building and directly connected to earth.”
He then describes the function of a fuse.
A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.

Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.
the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".
An AC voltage/ current source, and an ac inductive load.

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

The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”
Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.
(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).

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

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.
So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.
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.

There are two important concepts here.
OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.

These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.
These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.
But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
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.
But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).
He then asserts :
This device then solves the entire problem.
what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?
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, what happens?
Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.
I post the exact comment here.
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.
Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.
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.

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.

so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.
One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”
P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.
It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.
(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.
When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.
