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.
When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.
At least they know the answer if they wanted it.

In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

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.
One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”

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.

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

Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.
If the nominal power is 4,000 watts then the current at 230volts is 16 amps.

First Sentence:
So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.
Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".
There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.
If there was only one man remaining on the Earth, would this be regarded as extinction?
the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".
Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.
He then describes the function of a fuse.

Is the Shia claim true that Imam Ali was born inside the Kaaba?
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.
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.
What type of sex do women prefer, oral, anal, or vaginal?
For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).
This one hit behind the barn.
What does a fuse do?
He then asserts :
This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.
At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.
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 'the assistant's answer'
but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.
It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.
(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
There are two important concepts here.

Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.
but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.
These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.
The bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.
“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”

OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.
Upvotes:
So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.
Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).
so, what happens?
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.
I post the exact comment here.
Here is a simplified AC power diagram.
These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.
What is lightning?
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).
But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).
This device then solves the entire problem.
This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.
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.
P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.
A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.
