⚡ What Is a Surge Arrester?

A surge arrester is an electrical device designed to protect equipment from transient over-voltage surges, commonly caused by lightning strikes or switching operations. It works by safely diverting the excessive voltage to the ground while allowing the normal voltage to pass through. According to ANSI standard C62.11, these devices can repeatedly perform without failure, making them essential in safeguarding electrical networks, residential electronics, and industrial systems.
