When the RVSS mfr says to move the caps to the line side, they are referring to Power Factor Correction capacitors, not surge caps. PFC caps have a different purpose and
Surge Arrester – How does it protect from Voltage Surges?
Surge arrestors come in various types, depending on the surge arresters'' function, such as those for industrial machinery and telecommunications, and including scaled-down versions for use
The Application and Selection of Lightning
Surge arresters are applied to limit the magnitude of impulse waves. Surge capacitors reduce the steepness of the wave fronts so that the equipment being protected is not subjected to as severe a voltage wave. Surge capacitors
Difference between Surge Protection Devices and Surge Arrester

6 FAQs about [Capacitors do not require lightning arresters]
Do power capacitors need surge arresters?
Power capacitors do not need to use pipe-type surge arresters to prevent lightning intrusion waves, and it is also best not to use valve-type surge arresters. Reason: When the overvoltage value of a common valve-type arrester is lower than the discharge voltage of the arrester, the impact overvoltage charges the capacitor.
Do capacitor banks need surge arresters?
Many capacitor banks are operated without surge arresters. However, there are a variety of reasons to instal arresters: To prevent capacitor failures at a breaker restrike or failure. To limit the risk of repeated breaker restrikes. To prolong the service life of the capacitors by limiting high overvoltages.
