2. Surge protector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector

   A surge protection device mounted on a residential circuit breaker panel A varistor inside a consumer-grade surge protector has failed after a lightning strike. The Joule rating number defines how much energy a MOV-based surge protector can theoretically absorb in a single event, without failure. Better protectors exceed ratings of 1,000 joules ...

3. Lightning arrester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_arrester

   Powerline worker performs maintenance of a lightning arrester on an electrical transmission tower in New Brunswick, Canada. A lightning arrester (alternative spelling lightning arrestor) (also called lightning isolator) is a device, essentially an air gap between an electric wire and ground, used on electric power transmission and telecommunication systems to protect the insulation and ...

   [2] [5] The "8/20 μs" generator is designed for surge arrester testing, and produces a high-current surge into a low-impedance load. [2] On the other hand, modern electronic devices can be high and low-impedance loads simultaneously due to non-linear devices, protection circuits, and arcing in a dielectric breakdown.

6. Fuse cutout - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_cutout

   Lightning arresters are mounted on the crossarm opposite the fuse cutouts. Fuse cutouts with V-shaped bodies. In electrical distribution, a fuse cutout or cut-out fuse (often referred to as a cutout) is a combination of a fuse and a switch, used in primary overhead feeder lines and taps to protect distribution transformers from current surges ...

7. Lightning rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rod

   A lightning protection system includes a network of air terminals, bonding conductors, and ground electrodes designed to provide a low impedance path to ground for potential strikes. Lightning protection systems are used to prevent lightning strike damage to structures. Lightning protection systems mitigate the fire hazard which lightning ...
