The invention discloses an intelligent nonlinear current-limiting direct
lightning protection device, which belongs to the field of direct
lightning protection and comprises a current-limiting
lightning rod, a multi-gap
assembly and a lightning current measurement
assembly. By arranging the multi-gap
assembly on the current-limiting
lightning rod, when the lightning current exceeds the through-current capability of the current-limiting
lightning rod, the lightning current is conducted and reduced through the main gap and the multiple gaps on the multi-gap assembly; under the action of the current-limiting
lightning rod, the main
discharge time of lightning is prolonged from
microsecond level to
millisecond level, and when the lightning flows through too many gaps, a radial arc spraying effect is generated to further prolong the main
discharge time of lightning, so that the lightning
waves are changed from continuous
waves to discontinuous
waves, flashover of the current-limiting lightning rod is avoided, and damage of lightning current to the rod body is avoided; the direct lightning protection device has a self-protection capability; by arranging the lightning current measurement assembly, the device has intelligent functions of lightning current data measurement and transmission, and lightning
big data is formed to provide support for follow-up research, product improvement, customer demand meeting and the like.
