A surge arrester is a device that protects electrical power systems from damages caused by lightning. A typical surge arrester has both a ground terminal and a high-voltage terminal. When a powerful electric surge travels from the power system to the surge arrester, the high voltage current is sent directly to the insulation or to the ground to avoid damaging the system.
How to Install?
Generally, the installation of surge arresters can be done close to an electric meter to defend the electrical system used in a residence or building from the power surge effects which are occurring from the outside.
It protects other electrical devices that are connected to the power source, however, they cannot provide whole protection from surges that occurs from defective wiring otherwise the overall working of electrical appliances used in homes or in offices.
