What is the function of the serge absorber?

Answer Posted / raul

Surge absorbers are protective devices used to absorb the
complete surge i,e. due to lightening surge or any
transient surge in the system..........unlike the
lightening arrestor in which a non-linear resistor is
provided which provides a low resistance path to the
dangerously high voltages on the system to the earth......
