Answer / pradeep vashist

Lightning arrestors limit the crest value of an impulse
voltage. When the voltage reaches a pre-determined value it
provides a discharge path to ground. It provides
a "Spillover Effect" while the Surge Capacitors reduce the
slope of the surge (rate of voltage rise) by momentarily
absorbing initial energy, then releasing it; providing
a "Dampening Effect

Answer / praveen

According to my observation surge arresters are desined
with insulation out side of it because of high voltage but

insulation,both are used for discharging high voltages but
their design is different.
