What is the difference between lightning conductor and lightning arrester??...or they are same??

 

[chuckey]

The arrestor is normally the piece of tackle at the top end of lighting conductor. Unless its a gas tube fitted across a phone or transmission line

The usual understanding of the term is described by the Wikepedia articles, I think:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rod
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_arrester
