Lightning arrester - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A lightning arrester is a device used on electrical power systems to protect the insulation on the system from the damaging effect of lightning. Metal oxide varistors (MOVs) have been used for power...

The arrester conducts the lightning surges around the protected insulator so that a subsequent 60 Hz fault on the circuit is not created. The arrester becomes a low ohmic path for the surge as voltage across it increases.

To really guard against strike damage, you need a lightning arrester. The arrester uses a gas-filled gap that acts as an open circuit to low potentials, but becomes ionized and conducts at very high potentials. If the lightning hits the line you are protecting, the gas gap will ... Introduction to How Lightning Works...
