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?

This is the picture of an electronic coil of wire wound around a core of magnetic material.
This one hit behind the barn.
“ … to protect building, lightning arrestor, is provided above building and directly connected to earth.”
He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.
He then asserts :
And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.
Why do so many 18 to 29-year-old men struggle in dating?
At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.
“ 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”

Have you ever forcibly sucked someone’s dick?
“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”
Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".
but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.
What misfortune led to an important discovery?

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.
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.

There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
So, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.
Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.
How is Sola Scriptura incoherent?
One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”
I post the exact comment here.
But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).
This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.
This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.

A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit 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.
the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".

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.
He then describes the function of a fuse.

The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”
OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.
Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.
I feel like my boyfriend doesn't love me. Why?
(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).
Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.
It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.

It’s been three xxx five werks, and there has been no response to my follow on query on his Commment to my answer.
But it can get overloaded, and no longer works.
This device then solves the entire problem.
but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.
So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.
The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.

So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.
These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.
First Sentence:
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.
Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.

Barnstars:
Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.
For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).
These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.
The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”
a photo is worth a thousand words.
What is lightning?
(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).
At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).
When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.
But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.
so, what happens?
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.

so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.
What does a fuse do?
It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.
Here is a simplified AC power diagram.
In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:
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.
P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.
A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?
There are two important concepts here.
An AC voltage/ current source, and an ac inductive load.
