A thunder arrestor, also known as a lightning arrester, is a device used to protect electrical equipment from damage caused by lightning strikes. It works by providing a low-impedance path for the lightning to follow, directing the electrical surge safely to the ground. Thunder arrestors are commonly installed on buildings, power lines, and telecommunication towers to prevent costly equipment damage and ensure safety.
Lightning arrestor or lightnng ROD? An arrestor typically covers a given electrical circuit- lightning rods cover outside area. Area will depend on the heighth of the rod above lower surfaces.

The MAXIMUM rated voltage is the voltage at which the electricity would arc across the insulators The usage voltage is lower than the rated voltage (usually somewhere around 80% The lightning arrestor voltage is in between. It will not pass current at the usage voltage, but will pass current when the voltage exceeds the arrestor threshhold
A flame arrestor is designed to prevent flames from propagating back into a vessel or pipeline where flammable gases or vapors are present. It works by disrupting the flame's path and extinguishing it to prevent a potential explosion.
A gas discharge arrestor is used to protect electrical equipment from damage caused by lightning strikes or voltage surges in power lines. It diverts excess voltage to the ground, preventing it from damaging the connected devices.
An arrestor is an alternative term for a buffer stop.
