A protective device that is used to protect the electrical power system from surges caused by lightning is known as surge arrester. It includes two terminals like high voltage and ground. Once an electric surge travels through the surge arrester from the power system, then a huge voltage current can travel to the insulation directly otherwise to the ground terminal to protect the system from damage.

Not all surge arresters protect systems from lightning. While lightning current arresters (Class 1) are used to protect against direct lightning surge currents, surge arresters (Class 2) protect equipment from induced surges in electrical wiring. Surge arresters and lightning current arresters from DEHN offer reliable protection against these hazards. And there are many kinds of surge arresters such as Distribution Surge Arrester, Station Surge Arrester, Line Surge Arrester, etc. Different surge arresters have to be equipped with different Metal Oxide Varistors like 5kA Varistor, 10kA Varitor, etc.
