The invention discloses a device for testing the
power frequency follow current intercepting capability of a
lightning protection device. The device comprises a
power frequency oscillation circuit, a high-
voltage impact circuit, a mechanical linkage device, a sampling
resistor and a
voltage distributing device. The
power frequency oscillation circuit comprises a power frequency
inductor, a first sphere gap and a power frequency
capacitor, wherein the power frequency
inductor, the first sphere gap and the power frequency
capacitor are sequentially connected. The high-
voltage impact circuit comprises a waveform adjustor, a second sphere gap and an
impact capacitor, wherein the waveform adjustor, the second sphere gap and the impact capacitor are sequentially connected. The power frequency
inductor, the high-voltage impact circuit and the voltage distributing device of the power
frequency oscillation circuit are connected with two connecting-in ends respectively in parallel, and one connecting-in end is further connected with the sampling
resistor in series. The mechanical linkage device is further connected with the first sphere gap and the second sphere gap, the connecting-in ends are used for being connected with the
lightning protection device to be tested. The mechanical linkage device is used for controlling the discharging moment of the power
frequency oscillation circuit and the discharging moment of the high-voltage impact circuit by adjusting the distance between the first sphere gap and the second sphere gap and controlling the discharging moment of the high-voltage impact circuit at the set phase moment of the power
frequency oscillation circuit. According to the scheme, the test success rate can be improved.
