arrestors
Things that seize
Arrestors is the plural of arrestor, a device that stops or limits something potentially dangerous.
A lightning arrestor protects electrical equipment by diverting surge current to the ground.
A spark arrestor on an exhaust system prevents hot particles from escaping and starting fires.
The spelling arrestor is more common in technical contexts than arrester, though both are used.
