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 Rainy Season and Lightning.
Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.

I am 13 and I am planning to run away. What should I do to succeed?
He then describes the function of a fuse.
In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:
P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.
Why is the show The Big Bang Theory so hated?
First Sentence:
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.
but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.
Are you afraid of being alone?

This is the picture of an electronic coil of wire wound around a core of magnetic material.
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.
The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”
Barnstars:
So, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.
How could Trump, with his deplorable garbage supporters, manage to win an election?
He then asserts :
If the nominal power is 4,000 watts then the current at 230volts is 16 amps.
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.

“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”
The bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.
a photo is worth a thousand words.
OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.
Here is a simplified AC power diagram.
Is 1500 calories enough for a 5’3 15-year-old who is non-active?
the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".

But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.

so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.
There are two important concepts here.
What has been your best sexual experience?
One
Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).
So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.
Can you make a fake K-pop group? It can be with any idols.
This device then solves the entire problem.
This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.
Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.
How can I get over a break up?
What is lightning?
I post the exact comment here.
When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.

[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.
It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.
In what circumstances might a chaperone be appropriate for a medical examination?
An AC voltage/ current source, and an ac inductive load.
The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.
what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?
eight
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.
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.
A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.
(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).
“ … to protect building, lightning arrestor, is provided above building and directly connected to earth.”

It’s been three xxx five werks, and there has been no response to my follow on query on his Commment to my answer.
For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).
At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
What does a fuse do?
So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.
There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.
But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
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.
One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”
2024–09–27 [ Mohan Rajaratnam Mohan Rajaratnam ] . Thinks you can get free electricity from nothing : Mohan Rajaratnam's answer to Is it possible to generate free electricity at home using a magnet or other low-cost methods? If so, how does it work?
“ 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 other is “what does a “fuse” do?”
[image of Common-mode choke]
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 one hit behind the barn.

But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).
These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.
Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".
This is 'the assistant's answer'
It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.
This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.
These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.
And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.
Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.
nine
A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.
At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.
(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.
