 UL | Surge Suppressor Safety Tips
Surge suppressors are not lightning protection devices - they cannot protect your home or your home's internal electrical wiring from a direct strike.
Surge suppressors can, however, protect your equipment from voltage surges caused by unexpected occurrences such as a utility pole downed by a storm.
UL evaluates surge suppressors for fire, electric shock and personal injury hazards, and also measures and categorizes the devices for how much voltage they can "clamp," thus preventing excess voltage from passing through to electronic equipment.

 What is surge protector? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Even though power surges are so brief that they are measured in nanoseconds, they can cause considerable damage to electronic equipment.
A surge protector works by channeling the extra voltage into the outlet's grounding wire, preventing it from flowing through the electronic devices while at the same time allowing the normal voltage to continue along its path.
Surge protectors more commonly protect equipment from lower-voltage surges that occur frequently in modern electrical wiring.

A transient surge protector is a device which is typically used to protect electronic equipment from damage or destruction caused by transient voltages and surge currents.
These transients and surges are then carried through the supply lines to all of the other loads in the vicinity.
As the transients and surges increase in level, their destructive power is carried further in distance thereby reaching more sensitive electronic equipment.
