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?

At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.
The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”

What do you think is the most powerful line in the song "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" by Édith Piaf?
Here is a simplified AC power diagram.
P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.
If the nominal power is 4,000 watts then the current at 230volts is 16 amps.
The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.
Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.
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.
What do you think of Andrew Tate?
the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".
So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.

“ 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”
This is 'the assistant's answer'
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.

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

This device then solves the entire problem.
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.
Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.
In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:

This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.
There are two important concepts here.
These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.
But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).
Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.
so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.
When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.
Edit 2024–10.
At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.
A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.
Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).

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

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?
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.
What is lightning?
What does a fuse do?
Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.
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.
This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.
a photo is worth a thousand words.
OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.
The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”
This is the picture of an electronic coil of wire wound around a core of magnetic material.
But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.
but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.
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.
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.
The bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.
