Surge protection minimises the risk of damage from lightning strikes, voltage and power surges and transient voltages by blocking or redirecting unwanted surge current to earth.
A surge or lightning protection device prevents damage to electrical equipment from over-voltage transient events by blocking or redirecting surge current to the ground instead of passing through the equipment.
Surge protection is connected to a conductor on the line side of equipment. The protection is also connected to ground and functions by routing energy from an over-voltage transient to ground if one occurs, while isolating the conductor from ground at normal operating voltages. A varistor is usually adopted to achieve this, as its resistance is variable for different voltage levels.
