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?

so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.
“ 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”
Why do I sweat between my legs all the time, top off my legs, all way down?
P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.
Here is a simplified AC power diagram.
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.

Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.
This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.

Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.
What does a fuse do?
a photo is worth a thousand words.
“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”
This device then solves the entire problem.
But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).
so, what happens?
How can I get over a break up?
One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”
Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".
He then asserts :

This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.

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

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

These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.
(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).

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

And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.

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.

These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.
A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.
The bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.
The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”
A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

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, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.
But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.
For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).
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.
When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.
(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.
2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].
The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.
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.

It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.
This is 'the assistant's answer'
OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.
The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”
But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
What is lightning?
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.
This one hit behind the barn.

So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.
the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".
There are two important concepts here.
At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
