I�m describing safety features of a pump.
Power Surge Arrestor - (Optional) is installed to protect the pumping
system from power spikes generated by lightning or other power surges.
This device does not directly shutdown the pump. Its main function is to
route power spikes to ground that might otherwise damage the motor or
controls. For protection it is important that the electrician install proper
grounding.

It would help if you provided more context.

S.L.A.P = Surge and Lightning Advanced Protection = Protección contra rayos y sobretensión

Striking the Earth an estimated 9,000,000timeseachday, lightning isthemost spectacular electrical display nature has to offer. Lightning is alsoone of the primary causes of station-damaging electrical surges, alongwith line surges and power transients. ***Flowtronex’ Surge and Lightning Advanced Protection, or S.L.A.P.***, provides your pump station with superior protection from these dangers

***S.L.A.P. helps protect your pump station from lightning and power surgesby minimizing the amount of "pass voltage" that reaches thestation***. Passvoltageisdefinedasthevoltagenotabsorbedorshuntedtogroundduringanevent. Generally, theamount of pass voltage a device permits is basedon its ability to quickly absorb heat, which is the form the excess energytakes when it hits a surge protection device. Tested against comparablesuppressors, S.L.A.P. maintained the lowest pass voltage while the devicesuffered the least post-strike performance degradation. This is often thecrucial difference among surge suppressorsas, contrary to myth, lightningusually strikes the same place multiple times. A suppressor's low passvoltage rating can be meaningless if a second strike sends thousands ofvolts unchecked into your sensitive electrical control
