discharge counter or surge counter/monitor
Discharge Counter
The Discharge Counter is a device used to count and record the number of discharges that an arrester has seen. This is connected in series between the surge arrester and the ground connection. A capacitor Inductor circuit is used to count the number of discharges. A non-resetable electromechanical counter is used to count and register the number of discharges.
Applications
Used with Surge Arresters to count the number of discharges and monitor the health of the arrester
Advantages
Insensitive to the shape of the wave of discharge current
Anti-corrosive housing and connecting terminals
Performance not affected by outside environment
In-built leakage current monitoring device
Reliability and Security of operation
No external source required
Simplicity of fixing/mounting
Maintenance free lIP-67 protection

surge arrester
Taken from the description on the Kudoz. I'm not sure if there is a more specific term. According to the page on Wikipedia the technical term is surge protection device or transient voltage surge suppressor. I would use 'surge protection device'
Example sentence:
To protect a unit of equipment from transients occurring on an attached conductor, a surge arrester is connected to the conductor just before it enters the equipment.
The surge arrester is also connected to ground and functions by routing energy from an over-voltage transient to ground if one occurs, while isolating the conductor from ground at normal operating voltages.
