Yes, but they're not 'phase' conductors, they're 'line' conductors.
Ground wireAnswerIt's a (lightning) protection wire, designed to protect the line conductors from lightning strikes.
On the contrary, armouring is common on single-core conductors. Frequently, high-voltage underground cables are made up of three, individual, single-core, line conductors. These are most definitely armoured to protect them against penetration by the trench backfill and to protect workers who may accidentally hit them with tools.
A surge suppressor will protect against transient high voltage surges.A ferroresonant transformer will protect against transient low voltage brownouts.A uninterruptable power supply will protect against power failures of several minutes duration.
Safety systems for windmills are designed to protect them from various potential risks. These include lightning strikes, strong winds, and overspeeding during storms. Additionally, safety systems also monitor and control the temperature of critical components to prevent overheating, which can lead to fires or damage to the windmill.
galvanize it, paint it, powder-coat it, electroplate it
Lightning conductors provide a path of least resistance for lightning strikes, guiding the electrical current safely to the ground. This helps prevent the lightning from causing damage to the building's structure or igniting fires by dissipating the electrical charge harmlessly into the ground. By intercepting the lightning strike and safely redirecting it, lightning conductors help protect buildings and their occupants from potential harm.

Lightning conductors or rods, protect a building from lightning hits by harmlessly draining of the electrical charge thereby preventing fire or other damage. Churches with steeples that tower over surrounding buildings and trees would be especially likely to attract lightning.
The two main types of lightning conductors are Franklin rods, which are tall metal rods that attract lightning strikes and conduct the electricity to the ground, and Faraday cages, which are enclosed metal structures that protect objects inside from lightning strikes by directing the electricity around the outer surface.
No lightning cant protect it only destroys.
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!
Lightning conductors are not put up to get hit by lightning as such. They can and do get hit by lightning but the expression "conductor" is a misnomer. They act as a discharge to ground to prevent the buildup of static charge in an approximate "sphere" from the tip of the rod to the surrounding ground. Any lightning strike will tend to go across the surface of this sphere and provide protection for the people under the sphere. Thus standing near the tall building usually gives complete protection. The taller the building the better and wider is the protection
Conductors are devices that conducts or transmit heat, electricity, or sound. (An example would be a lightning rod.)Isolators are devices that detect short circuits and isolates them.
The three major components of an integral lightning protection system are the lightning rod or air terminal, the down conductor or lightning cable, and the grounding system or grounding rod. These components work together to safely capture and dissipate lightning strikes to protect structures from damage.
A fuse cannot protect 100% of the time against every possible event. It protects conductors and appliances from over currents in excess of the fuse's rating and that is all. It will not protect against a nearby lighting strike. It will not protect your TV's more sensitive components if protection built into the TV fails.
Landlord insurance can protect against disasters that would cost money for the landlords complex. These disasters can include fire, lightning, explosions, earthquakes, storms and floods. However, it varies between policies.
stay inside away from the lightning.
