Instructions on how to dismantle a terminal box:

Die acht Sechskantschrauben mit Rippen lösen und herausdrehen. Der komplette Klemmenkasten kann nun vom Lagerschild NDE abgenommen werden – die drei Ableiter sind flexibel und müssen durch die Öffnung im Klemmenkastenboden (grüne Fläche) geführt werden.

output leads
Explanation:
The picture shows probably a turbine-generator with 3 conductors U, V, W, designated "Ableiter".

Ein elektrischer Generator (zu lateinisch generare ‚hervorholen‘, ‚erzeugen‘) ist eine elektrische Maschine, die Bewegungsenergie in elektrische Energie wandelt. Der Generator ist das Gegenstück zum Elektromotor, der elektrische Energie in Bewegungsenergie wandelt.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektrischer_Generator

The alternating magnetic field from the rotor produces a subsequent alternating current in the stator. This AC current is fed through stator leads into a connecting set of diodes.

Current transformers are used to step down the current in the output leads of the alternator to a value that can be used in instrument circuits.

If problems persist, wire capacitors across the output leads of the wind generator as close to the brush holders as possible.

Should the generator fail to build up voltage after being assembled, a momentary short circuit of any two generator output leads while the unit is running at rated speed should be sufficient ot correct this condition. This action is termed "Flashing the Field"

arrester


Explanation:
From the context it is clear that it is a surge arrester so I would just use arrester.

disagree  Johannes Gleim: surge arresters are rigid and cannot be put through a hole! Moreover, your link does not confirm your suggestion.
