English term or phrase: distribution class lightning arrester
Not much context available - the term appears in a bullet point: "the switch includes distribution class lightning arresters". "The switch" here refers to a 遮断機 for a transformer.

I know that "lightning arrester" translates to 避雷器, but what would be a good translation for "distribution class"? The only translation I can find for it is the one for a linguistics term...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, that's a good lead! I wonder if I should change 「配電用｣ to ｢配電式｣, as it seems "distribution class" here describes a type of arrester rather than its purpose...
