Flame Arrester. A Flame Arrester also spelled arrestor is a device which allows gas to pass through it but stops a flame in order to prevent a larger fire or explosion. There is an enormous variety of situations in which flame arresters are applied.
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.
