Answer / Rao Yaduman

A surge capacitor is an electrical component used to provide a temporary power source during voltage spikes or surges. Its primary function is to absorb and discharge excess energy quickly, protecting connected equipment from damage.nSurge capacitors are used in generator circuit breakers to protect the generator and the connected load from voltage surges that may occur during switching or lightning strikes.
