2. 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 ...

4. Lightning rod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rod

   A lightning arrester is a device, essentially an air gap between an electric wire and ground, used on electric power systems and telecommunication systems to protect the insulation and conductors of the system from the damaging effects of lightning. The typical lightning arrester has a high-voltage terminal and a ground terminal.

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. IEC 61000-4-5 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_61000-4-5

   It necessitates the test of surge immunity in electrical or electronic equipment. IEC 61000-4-5 defines test set-up, procedures, and classification levels. In particular, it standardizes the required surge voltage and current waveforms for laboratory testing, with the "1.2/50-8/20 μs" impulse being the most frequently used surge waveform.

8. Shunt (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunt_(electrical)

   However, a direct lightning strike (such as on a radio tower antenna) will cause the shunt to arc and conduct the massive amount of electricity to ground, protecting transmitters and other equipment. Another older form of lightning arrester employs a simple narrow spark gap, over which an arc will jump when a high voltage is present.

9. Canadian Line Materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Line_Materials

   Canadian Line Materials was a Canadian electrical manufacturing company which began business in 1957 as a division from McGraw-Edison in Scarborough, Toronto [2] and built electrical equipment such as lightning arresters. [3]
