The invention discloses a special shielding device for the routine test of a lightning arrester, which comprises a ring-shaped insulating plate, and the said ring-shaped insulating plates are two, namely a large ring plate and a small ring plate, and the diameters of the inner rings of the two are equal , the end faces of the large ring plate and the small ring plate are arranged parallel to each other and a supporting ring plate is arranged between them, and the large ring plate, the small ring plate and the supporting ring plate form an annular inner cavity, which can The insulator is clamped and fixed, and the inner ring surface of the large ring plate and the small ring plate is respectively provided with an insulating layer and a metal layer. The large ring plate, the small ring plate and the supporting ring plate are all split combined structures, respectively. Two split bodies are combined, and a guiding mechanism and a connecting mechanism are arranged between the two split bodies. The invention greatly improves the influence of external unfavorable factors on the data during the test, not only ensures the accuracy of the data, but also saves manpower, shortens the working time, greatly improves the working efficiency, and provides a guarantee for the safe operation of the power grid equipment .
