The surge arrester protects the power systems from both the direct and indirect lightning surge by diverting the charge and energy to ground. In the process of diverting, it clamps the surge on the system from the arrester onward. Since the surge arrester has resistance even in its conductive state it does not reduce the lightning surge to zero.
