A device, composed of sharp points and/or knife edges, that discharges powerline overvoltages to ground. The term lightning arrestor is a misnomer, as these devices cannot protect against a direct strike to the powerline!
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.It is a violation of code. When pouring concrete there is often a lot of pressure, not to mention boots, placed on wireways in the pour. This could cause the coil of the bx to separate, exposing the conductors to metal edges and to the chemical reactions of the concrete.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

Grommets and insulation tape
If the outlet is on an outside wall there is a plastic boot that goesaround the outlet. The purpose of this boot is to keep the vapour barrier intact. The edges of this boot are then taped to the wall vapour barrier to make a complete air seal. The insulation goes behind the outlet boot which allows the wall R value to remain the same as the rest of the wall.
Semi-conductive EPR tape is commonly used to round sharp edges on splices using larger conductors. This type of tape helps to evenly distribute the electrical stress and prevent corona discharge at the edges of the splice.
Semi-conducting tape is commonly used to round sharp edges on splices using larger conductors. This type of tape helps to provide a smooth and consistent surface on the splice, reducing the risk of electrical stress and corona discharge.
Originally, batons were flat, with very sharp edges. When conductors started bleeding all over their musical scores, it was decided to round these sharp edges and eventually the batons formed cylinders.
Sharp edges or points are avoided in electrical machines because they can create stress concentrations that lead to mechanical failure. Additionally, these features can cause electrical arcing or short circuits, compromising the machine's performance and safety. Smooth surfaces also facilitate better heat dissipation, reducing the risk of overheating. Overall, avoiding sharp edges enhances the durability and reliability of electrical machines.
Sharp edges and pointed parts allow concentration of charges and make it easier for the charge to arc.
Anything reasonably small. e.g. In the UK, the wood used in carpentery and construction is measured in millimetres for the smaller edges and metres for the larger edges.

The Mollweide Projection shows areas that land masses are larger and they are larger. The disorts are shape of land and direction.
The Atlantic basin is getting larger with time because it is spreading from the mid-Altantic ridge. The edges of the basin are not subducting like, for example, the Pacific plate.
An electrical box grommet is used to protect wires and cables within an electrical box by providing a cushioned barrier between the sharp edges of the box and the wires. This helps prevent damage to the insulation of the wires, reducing the risk of electrical shorts or fires.
