The invention discloses a
lightning arrester with the leak current measuring function. The
lightning arrester aims to solve the technical problems that leak current detection in an existing
lightning arrester is interfered by strong
electromagnetism,
signal extraction difficulty is large, and
electrification monitoring can not be achieved easily. The
lightning arrester comprises an umbrella cover with the sealed exterior, and a
core set arranged in the umbrella cover. A first
aluminum electrode is arranged on the upper portion of the
core set, and a leak current measuring sensor is arranged on the lower portion of the
core set; the leak current measuring sensor comprises a second
aluminum electrode, a third
aluminum electrode and a resistance disc, a detection positive
electrode P+ led out to the exterior of the umbrella cover is arranged in the second aluminum
electrode, and a detection negative
electrode P- is led out from the bottom end of the third aluminum electrode; the resistance disc is formed by connecting a sampling
resistor R and a protecting valve plate Z6 in parallel. The
lightning arrester and the leak current measuring sensor are integrally arranged, the electrodes are led out and connected to a
measuring instrument, and on the premise of not influencing the lightning protection effect of a
lightning arrester body,
electrification monitoring of leak currents of the lightning arrester is achieved.
