Why earthing is required for Lightning Arrester?
You want to provide the lightening a place to go other than through your house to find a ground. The "earthing" of the Arrester provides the pat of least resistance to ground which is where the lightening wants to go. If this connection to earth was not provided the lightening charge would wander through the house and potentially zap many appliances, TVs and other assorted things that are connected to ground in some way, including people or pets in the house. Think of your house as a maze of electrical connections to ground. The earth connection to the arrester provides a secret and direct tunnel through the maze of the lightening to follow.
