Power Factor Correction Devices are not touted as surge arrestors or Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors (TVSS) TVSS duties are best left to actual devices built for that purpose. The VC unit does perform some filtering duties but only when the device is engaged either through the direct connection to the service panel or to a load like an air conditioner.
