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?

P = e* I, so since I is 16 amps, then the voltage dropped is 1/16 volt or 0.0650 volts.

Can anyone or anything overthrow your belief in the Jewish God?
These devices are installed between the “hot” and “neutral” and protective ground.
But… the neutral is now “floating” because of the 1 ohm resistance.
but this device (an Inductor) … impedes the rapid changes in the current.

but I think this circuit , shows a few more pieces.
Now when you have a certain ac resistance, then a current flows in a loop.

Why do you think it is bad to allow people to self-identify as a different gender?
These are simplified answers to the original question, and does not change anything I wrote above.
So, it’s possible that these devices from Trip Lite have addition suppression devices, these ones seem to be sturdy.
The other is “what does a “fuse” do?”
Here is a simplified AC power diagram.
He then asserts :
(There is no concept of polarity, in the loop because the current changes direction 100 to 120 times a second (power frequency).

This device then solves the entire problem.
Because the load is inductive, the current lags the voltage.(by a bit).
Fuses, on their own, then operate much slower than the MOV variable resistance, during the lightning strike.

(Dc diagram shown, AC is similar).

“ 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 are the easiest stores for shoplifting?
He then describes the function of a fuse.
So, the voltage could go up to 500 volts, and the fuse will not open up.
What is lightning?
A circuit breaker is similar, but is resettable.

OK, this is Mohan Rajaratnam’s definition of a Surge suppressor.
In my experience, British people are fat, ugly and arrogant. Why is it and can it be changed?
One
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.
Can the fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of a surge protector.
eight
In schematic diagrams this is the symbol for a fuse:
A fuse is a non-resetable over current circuit protector.
What does a fuse do?
When the current is 200% of the rated value , it will “go open” (the link metal melts) and protect the device.
what exactly is a ‘surge’ protector?
Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about someone and it was right?
And this is the problem alone. Is the power supply in the equipmemt designed with a lightning strike in mind? Some yes, others, no.
There are three different concepts here that are getting confused.
so, what happens?
At one ohm, the resistor has a maximum of 1 watt power.
Mohan forgets that a fuse is a one-time device, and needs to be replaced if it is tripped.
An AC voltage/ current source, and an ac inductive load.

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?
This one hit behind the barn.
the problem then depends on "how fast does the fuse operate?".
It seems Mohan does not understand the difference between a comment and an Answer.
This is 'the assistant's answer'
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.
2024–10–11 [Bobby Sanchez Bobby Sanchez ].
The bolt then partially travels down the line to your home.
I post the exact comment here.
Is the question then , "why buy a surge supressor, if the fuse alone protects the electronic circuits from a lightning bolt?".
There are two important concepts here.
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.
One is “what exactly is in a ‘surge protector’ ? ”
so, the loop of wire then, when put together with another loop reduces the ‘noise’ on a power line.
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.
Barnstars:
First Sentence:
If the nominal power is 4,000 watts then the current at 230volts is 16 amps.
a photo is worth a thousand words.
Would individual surge supressors have save this equipment? most likely, since the surge supressor would take the jolt instead of the electronic components.
nine
This is where this question deviates from being a 'generic' question, and becomes more specific.
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.
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.
So combined with a device called a MOV or Metal-oxide-resistor, then forms the 3rd part of a “surge suppressor “.
The third is lightning and “how it gets conducted into a home.”
This is where the MOV conducts again, and dissipated the energy.
Edit 2024–10.
For this case there are devices called Metal oxide varistors (MOV).
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.

But during the surge, the fuse will not blow if it is a longer duration and lower value )10 to 50%).
This is the picture of an electronic coil of wire wound around a core of magnetic material.
It also is a device that limits the change in current flow.
He then describes Rainy Season and Lightning.
2024–10–10[John johnson John Johnson ]
The MOV will conduct when the voltage exceeds 50% of line voltage.
At least they know the answer if they wanted it.
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.
“ A fuse is a device which protects the (circuit) against overload and short circuit.”
