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 other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

so, what happens?

The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”
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.
Here is a simplified AC power diagram.
so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.
“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”
The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.

It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.

Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).
“ 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”
The bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.

He then asserts :
I post the exact comment here.
Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.

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.
But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.
What do you say after "Hi" when chatting?
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.
There are two important concepts here.
There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.
It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.
what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?
Why is digital marketing important?
First Sentence:
A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.
P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.

But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).

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.

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 one hit behind the barn.
OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.
but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.
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.
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.
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.
Barnstars:
For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).
(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.
He then describes the function of a fuse.

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

This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.
When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.
If the nominal power is 4,000 watts then the current at 230volts is 16 amps.

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?".
A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.
At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
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.
In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

What does a fuse do?
At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.
Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.
These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.
