LIGHTNING ARRESTER
Lightning Arrester
Definition: The circuit which is protected from the strokes of lightning with the help of a protection device is known as lightning arrester.
lightning strokes are nothing but surges with high transient voltage, arcs of isolation, spark, and surge currents because of lightning, etc.
These devices are used to defend the power systems by forwarding the high voltage surges in the direction of the ground. And these power systems and over headlines can also be protected by using ground wire or the earthing from the direct strikes of lightning.

The arrangement of these devices can be done on the towers, transmission poles and buildings to give a secure lane to the voltage & discharging current.
