The surge arrestor is clipped onto the rail in the DB next to the existing breakers, the live (red) wire is looped from the existing live loops above the other circuit breakers onto the top of the surge arrestor. The bottom of the arrestor is connected to the earth bar. It would be better to install a seperate earth spike and connect the botom of the arrestor to that to make sure that you have a good earth but it is sometimes not possible if the DB enclosure is indoors.

The voltage arrester works by conducting when there is enough voltage to turn it on. Often, an arrester on a primary distribution circuit has a spark gap to ground, so that lightning strikes are limited in voltage, protecting the circuit. Other types of arresters, such as MOV's, can be used in surge protectors.
If a surge protector had a very high resistance at all voltages, the wires in the surge protector would short out. It would kick off the protector and make it useless. A new surge protector would need to be purchased.
A transient, surge, spike, etc.
Yes, most of the surge strips have an in-built motherboard.
There five types of surge arrester: 1. Rod gap arrester 2. Horn gap arrester 3. Protector tube or expulsion type 4. Thyrite lighting arrester 5. Gapless arrester or metal oxide arrester

What is the effect of surge arrested on increase the voltage in medium voltage circuits?
The MCOV (Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage) rating for a lightning arrester is the maximum voltage that the arrester can continuously withstand without failing. It is important to select a lightning arrester with an appropriate MCOV rating to ensure that it can effectively protect against overvoltage events without being damaged.

1. If there is fluctuation in electricity and you are using manual stabilizer. 2. If there is improper earthing or earth leakage. 3. If you are using d,ble earthing.
There is likely no difference. Neither is accepted terminology for a surge suppressive device (SPD). If these products have been tested by safety organizations such as CSA (Canada) or UL (US) or tested to international surge standards (IEEE, IEC), then they should bare the correct terminology, otherwise, they are not tested to provide protection to equipment during a surge. Surge Absorber acts as a load that utilizes the high current until it exhausts. but the surge suppressor diverts the high current into ground without reaching the sensitive parts of the circuit. Surge absorber degrades faster than a surge suppressor.
The 6.6KV device will conduct before the 11KV device, quite possibly even in normal operation. Don't use it this way!
