[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, first, a 2.5V DC bias voltage is applied to the right end of the coupling capacitor (i.e., capacitor C12) to raise the reference potential of the signal to 2.5V. At this time, it can be understood that the reference of the positive and negative voltage signals is raised from 0V to 2.5V, so the negative polarity signal is converted into a positive polarity signal. The voltage range of the negative polarity signal is 2.5~0V, and the voltage range of the positive polarity signal is 2.5~5V, and then it is buffered by the voltage follower circuit.

[0062] The voltage follower circuit later reduces the signal amplitude to 0~3.2V through voltage division, and at the same time the signal reference voltage is reduced to 1.6V. The voltage range of the negative polarity signal is 0~1.6V, and the voltage range of the positive polarity signal is 1.6~3.2V, and then it is input into AD for acquisition and conversion.

[0063] like Figures 4 and 5 As shown, the output signal of the op amp is simultaneously connected to the comparison circuit. The comparator is divided into two paths. The reference voltage of the first comparator is set to be greater than 2.5V, such as 2.520V. When there is no signal, the comparator outputs a low level. When a positive signal greater than 20mV arrives, the comparator output can be high. Similarly, the reference voltage of the second comparator is set to be less than 2.5V, such as 2.480V. When there is no signal, the comparator outputs a low level. When a negative signal greater than 20mV arrives, the comparator output can be high. When a signal exceeding a certain amplitude arrives, the comparator outputs a rising edge, which can trigger the MCU controller to start AD sampling.

[0064] The AD sampling circuit uses the internal ad converter of the stm32f407. There are three 12-bit ADCs inside the stm32f407. The operating frequency of the ADC can reach up to 36M. By using its own triple rule synchronization function, three ADs can be collected simultaneously, and the sampling rate is measured to be about 1MSPS, that is, the signals of three lightning current sensors can be collected simultaneously.

[0065] All resistors use 0.01% resistors, and the power supplies and voltage divider power supplies for the op amp and comparator all use precision power supplies.

[0071] The working principle is as follows: the lightning current sensor captures the lightning current signal through electromagnetic induction, firstly performs smooth filtering through the integral filter circuit, and then enters the signal conditioning circuit to process the positive and negative polarity signals into signals that can be collected by AD. At the same time, the MCU controller is triggered by the comparison circuit to start AD sampling, so as to realize AD sampling of the conditioned signal, and then the lightning current is restored through the algorithm to obtain the peak current, lightning current polarity, and number of lightning strikes.

[0076] After protection, the residual voltage and residual current are displayed on the monitor, so the protection effect can be seen more intuitively.
