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.
These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.
This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.

He then asserts :
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.

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

Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.
It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.

This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.
“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”
One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”

Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.
So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.
what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?
A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.
At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).
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.
What are the best Jewish jokes?
Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.
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.
These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.

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.
He then describes the function of a fuse.

This one hit behind the barn.
For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).
A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.
Why would my ex block me after I blocked him?
So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.
a photo is worth a thousand words.

but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.
P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.
the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".
But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.
The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”
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.
But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
Here is a simplified AC power diagram.
But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).
There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.
“ … to protect building, lightning arrestor, is provided above building and directly connected to earth.”
The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”

If the nominal power is 4,000 watts then the current at 230volts is 16 amps.

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.

What is lightning?
OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.
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”
What does a fuse do?
Upvotes:
I post the exact comment here.
Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).
Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.
An AC voltage/ current source, and an ac inductive load.
This device then solves the entire problem.
First Sentence:
There are two important concepts here.
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.
