A lightning arrester (alternative spelling lightning arrestor) (also called lightning isolator) is a device, essentially an air gap between an electric wire and ground, used on electric power transmission and telecommunication systems to protect the insulation and conductors of the system from the damaging effects of lightning.

The typical lightning arrester has a high-voltage terminal and a ground terminal.

When a lightning surge (or switching surge, which is very similar) travels along the power line to the arrester, the current from the surge is diverted through the arrester, in most cases to earth.

An earthing system (UK and IEC) or grounding system (US) connects specific parts of an electric power system with the ground, typically the Earth's conductive surface, for safety and functional purposes.

The choice of earthing system can affect the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the installation.

Regulations for earthing systems vary among countries, though most follow the recommendations of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Regulations may identify special cases for earthing in mines, in patient care areas, or in hazardous areas of industrial plants.

An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e.g. a semiconductor, an electrolyte, a vacuum or air).

Electrodes are essential parts of batteries that can consist of a variety of materials depending on the type of battery.

' is a concept in ancient Greek thought that, in its most basic sense, refers to "excellence" of any kind—especially a person or thing's "full realization of potential or inherent function." The term may also refer to excellence in "moral virtue.".

A lightning rod or lightning conductor (British English) is a metal rod mounted on a structure and intended to protect the structure from a lightning strike.

If lightning hits the structure, it is most likely to strike the rod and be conducted to ground through a wire, rather passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution.

Lightning rods are also called finials, air terminals, or strike termination devices.
