Answer / viraj
normally above voltage 10kv called voltage source
their are of two types
1.system generated
when ckt connected or disconnected
2.lightning
lightning stroke over the current caring conductor.

Answer / sarmadahmed
Surge current is the faulty current produced due to some short circuit and is capable of burning the equipment so earthing is used to provide it a low resistant path for grounding.
Surge current means an instantaneous current of very high amplitude.
Surge voltage would be in case of open circuit condition.
