Lightning protection systems. Lightning can easily damage a number of different building materials, and the large electrical currents can cause fires within the interior or even side flashes. Side flashes are small explosions of highly pressurized, super-heated air that occur inside the nooks and crannies of structure materials.
Surge arresters work by fusing the line that goes to the protected device. This prevents voltage from traveling into the device and pushes it out through a ground system instead. This is both the biggest strength and biggest danger of a surge arrester.his will stop the surge, but it also destroys the device. If the arrester is improperly installed, this fusion can cause more problems than the initial surge. The differences between a surge arrester, a surge protector and a lightning arrester are very minor.
