A surge resistor is a resistor installed in a circuit to prevent a "surge" when conditions arise where a surge might occur. That might be a bit wordy, but that's the answer. Let's look at an instance where a surge resistor is used and see how it works.
There are a number instances where energizing a circuit is followed by a surge of current. Like almost all the time. When that circuit "comes on" after the switch is flipped, current is flowing. And sometimes we need to place a resistor in series with the component or components that want to draw a ton of current on startup. We can look at a component that might just do that.
Capacitors (caps) are sometimes fitted with something that limits a big shot of current when a circuit is energized. Caps, you recall, begin operation in the circuit of a modern equipment uncharged, and when these caps are first "seen" by the voltage source at the moment it's turned on, they look like a short circuit. Lots of current may want to flow. Jumping ahead, the cap sits in the operating circuit fat, dumb and happy "using" only a little current after things are going. But at startup, it needs to be checked to prevent it from "sucking up" (or sinking) too much current and overloading the supply. The surge resistor is on the job each time the circuit is energized.
There are other applications for a surge resistor, but the purpose is the same - prevent "too much current" from flowing at a given moment so the circuit can transition into a "normal operating mode" (where current flow is more modest).
The surge resistor is similar to a so-called current limiting (or, perhaps, ballast) resistor, but the name applied to the resistor in question might have more to do with the specific application.
VDR means Voltage Dependent Resistor, which is also called varistor. Varistor is a resistance device with non-linear volt-ampere characteristics. It is mainly used to clamp voltage when the circuit is subjected to overvoltage and absorb excess current to protect sensitive devices. Because it has the advantages of high surge withstand, large current processing and high volume absorption, fast response time and low leakage current, it is widely used in power systems, surge suppressors, motor protection, automotive electronic systems, household appliances, etc. We're JYH HSU(JEC) Electronics Ltd (or Dongguan Zhixu Electronic Co., Ltd.), an electronic components manufacturer.

if not disconnected you will measure the resistance of the circuit in parallel with the resistor.
There is no relation between the resistor's ohms value and its size. The power of the resistor can be seen by its size. If the power is too small, the resistor can be destroyed.
Surge diverters are normally located on the terminal pole of an overhead line system, and are intended to protect terminal equipment (e.g. transformers, cables, etc.) from sudden surges in voltage. Each of the line conductors is normally connected to earth, via the surge diverter. Under normal circumstances, the internal resistance of the surge diverter is high enough to insulate the line conductor from earth. However, if a voltage surge occurs due, for example, to a lightning strike, then the resistance of the surge diverter will collapse, 'diverting' the surge to earth.
The current would be about 20 volts.
Not really. They might help a little, but they are not surge protectors
To limit the fault current used surge protective resistance in generator rotor winding to protect the rotor winding heavy damage.
A varistor is an electronic component used for surge suppression. It is also known as a voltage dependent resistor, but it acts more like two zener diodes reversed and placed in parallel. The majority of surge suppression devices use these. However, they don't work all that well for lightning strikes.
Being that the capacitor appears as a short during the initial charging, the current through the diodes can momentarily be quite high. To reduce risk of damaging the diodes, a surge current limiting resistor is placed in series with the filter and load.
Surge is a noun (a surge) and a verb (to surge). It is not an adjective.
There are five: Payback Surge, Thunder Surge, Fire Surge, Barrier Surge, Vitality Surge.
Surge goes by Surge Valdez, and Sergio Sebastian Valdez.
Surge. like a surge of water passing over your head...
Surge is a noun (a surge of anger) and a verb (to surge forward).
Yes.
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.
