What is the fuction of surge arrester and surge suppressor? Modern days line designes are based on ..

Answer / iamdon

Surge arrester povides a low resistive path for lightning
and switching surges and thus diverting it through the low
resistive path,hence protect the device.

Surge suppresser reduce the peak and rate of rise of
switching surges.

Modern days line designes are mainly based on switching
surges.
