            Surge Arrester

            Medium- and high-voltage surge arresters are the primary protection against atmospheric and switching over-voltages.

            Products include surge arresters used in medium- and high-voltage AC and DC power systems, gaps not inherently self-clearing, capacitors of the type generally used for protection against lightning, and resistors designed to protect from lightning or other abnormal voltages to circuits or equipment associated therewith.

            Participation in the development of technical documents and engagement with other national and international organizations ensure NEMA Members' alignment with industry-backed efforts that impact the surge arresters market and create market demand through continued education and training of customers.​
