![[SOLVED] Found on a telephone pole in GTA, Canada](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/3dfa641a-585f-4d4d-a60f-063f8dccb05b.jpeg){kind=link}
I assume it has something to do with grounding, but I’ve never seen this before, so I’m curious of its function and need on a particular pole.

That’s part of a lightning arrestor. Basically a fuse that disconnects the power locally if a strong current suddenly passes through, like from lightning.
