DIY Doctor:
A device that connects to and protects an electrical system from lightning and other voltage surges.
Example sentences:
Lightning arresters are installed on many different pieces of equipment such as power poles and towers, power transformers, circuit breakers, bus structures, and steel superstructures in substations. (United States Department of Labor)
The present invention relates to a lightning arrester comprising resistance elements made of zinc oxide as a main component, having a nonlinear voltage-current characteristic and being disposed in an insulating cylinder... (Free Patents Online)
This reduction in resistance continues until the lightning arrester acts just like a direct short to ground. Upon reaching this condition, the lightning energy diverts to ground away from the protected equipment, thus reducing the effect of the overvoltage. (EC&M)

百度百科:
避雷器 又称:surge arrester,能释放雷电或兼能释放电力系统操作过电压能量,保护电工设备免受瞬时过电压危害,又能截断续流,不致引起系统接地短路的电器装置。避雷器通常接于带电导线与地之间,与被保护设备并联。当过电压值达到规定的动作电压时,避雷器立即动作,流过电荷,限制过电压幅值,保护设备绝缘;电压值正常后,避雷器又迅速恢复原状,以保证系统正常供电。
