Answer / yashpal gahlot
Surge protection device is used to protect against the
transients occur due to switching off heavy loads.

Answer / panks
Exactly, Lightning Arrestor is used to arrest the lightning
strokes outside of the building areas like switchyards, etc.
Surges means temporarily happening i.e. transient impulses
of suddenly induced lightning strokes, which are for micro
seconds, not for more time.
Surge Suppressor is the Surge Protection device.

Answer / purushmallya
Lighting impulse are used to protect the system against
lightning impulses which are of order of million volts.
Surge arrestors are used to arrest the transit impulses
like switching impulses.

Answer / mayil
surge aresster/surge protection device is used to abserve
over voltages/switching transiants/surge voltages. it
consists of capasitors,resistors.
Lightining aresters is mainly used to protect from lightning
strokes. mostly it is connected to begining of over head line
in switching yard.

Answer / swapnil dandawate
Surge protection device is used to protect your system
against Transient ( having impulse of 8/20 Micro second)or
Induced Lightning effects .
On the other hand Lightning Arrester is used to protect
your building and not your system inside building
