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?

He then describes the function of a fuse.
But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.
“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”
What were some of the unforgettable incidents from your school life?
P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.
OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.

Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.
What is Quora? Are there any tips?
One
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.
so, what happens?
“ 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”
One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”
(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
This is the picture of an electronic coil of wire wound around a core of magnetic material.
What is lightning?
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.
Have you ever had a scary dream about a loved one or friend soon after their death?
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.

The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.
It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.

How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?
So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.
but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.
“ … to protect building, lightning arrestor, is provided above building and directly connected to earth.”

There are two important concepts 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.
He then asserts :

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.
but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.
Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.
And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.
What does a fuse do?
The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”
Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?
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.
It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.
A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.

(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).
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.

This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.
At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.
Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).
I post the exact comment here.
This one hit behind the barn.
In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:
Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".
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 during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).

These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.

He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.

Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.
The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”
a photo is worth a thousand words.
the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".
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.

For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).
This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.
So, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.
Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.
At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
This is 'the assistant's answer'
So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.
so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.
This device then solves the entire problem.
A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.
If the nominal power is 4,000 watts then the current at 230volts is 16 amps.
First Sentence:
what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?
[old diagram got deleted by accident]
Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.
An AC voltage/ current source, and an ac inductive load.
But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
