Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lightning protection technology, specifically relating to an optimization calculation method for the spacing of lightning protection shunt bars based on lightning breakdown and flashover effects. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional designs for shunt bar spacing often fail to adequately consider the structural relationship between the protected object (typically a metal antenna structure) and the composite radome housing, as well as the coupling effects of surface flashover and direct breakdown. Differences in radome housing material and the spacing between the radome housing and the protected object both affect lightning interception performance.
[0003] In the lightning protection design system for aerospace vehicle radomes, shunt strip lightning interception methods include two types, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the first type is a direct lightning strike to the shunt bar. When lightning, in a complex electromagnetic environment, travels along the most vulnerable path with its immense energy, it may strike the shunt bar directly. In this case, the straight-line distance between the lightning's origin and the shunt bar becomes the preferred path for the lightning current. Due to the special structural design and electrical performance of the shunt bar, it can effectively disperse the enormous energy of the lightning, preventing the energy from accumulating locally and causing severe damage to the equipment. The second type is where lightning first originates from the lightning's origin and adheres to the surface of the radome housing. Then, before penetrating the radome housing, a surface flashover occurs, striking the shunt bar. In this case, the lightning's energy first acts on the surface of the radome housing. Although the radome housing has insulation and protective functions, under the strong electric field of lightning, charge accumulation and uneven distribution may occur on the surface of the radome housing. When this charge distribution and accumulation reach a certain level, a surface flashover will occur. A surface flashover is a special discharge phenomenon that conducts along the surface of the radome housing rather than directly penetrating it. The surface flashover path of lightning along the radome housing can be affected by various factors, including the material, roughness, and humidity of the radome housing surface. Once a surface flashover occurs, the conducted energy is highly likely to strike the shunt strip. The shunt strip then plays a crucial role in dispersing energy and preventing direct lightning strikes to the equipment, ensuring the safety and stability of the protected device under lightning strikes.
[0004] Direct lightning strike has its unique characteristics, and the surface flashover also has corresponding rules. The two lightning diversion strip connection methods have mutual influence. However, the traditional design ignores this joint action, so that the design is insufficient when dealing with complex situations, and finally leads to the difficulty of reaching the expected protection range. And in the current research and application in the related field, there is no quantitative spacing calculation model based on the insulating strength of the antenna cover shell material and the air breakdown field strength. This may lead to a lack of scientific and precise basis for setting the air gap spacing of the lightning diversion strip in practical operation, and it is impossible to effectively determine the appropriate spacing by combining the specific values of the material and air field strength, which may affect the safety and stability of the overall system. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a lightning protection diversion strip spacing optimization calculation method based on lightning breakdown and flashover effect, and to give a diversion strip spacing calculation method under the coupling conditions of direct lightning strike and surface flashover, to ensure that lightning current can be struck to the diversion strip under the two conditions, and to avoid or reduce the lightning damage of the composite antenna cover shell.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present application is a lightning protection diversion strip spacing optimization calculation method based on lightning breakdown and flashover effect, which is as follows:
[0007] Step 1: Determine the distance H from the lightning starting point to the antenna cover shell;
[0008] Step 2: Determine the minimum distance d between the protected device and the antenna cover shell;
[0009] Step 3: Determine the thickness t of the antenna cover shell;
[0010] Step 4: Determine the breakdown field strength of the antenna cover shell material according to the material properties of the antenna cover shell And the field strength of the surface flashover along the antenna cover shell E surface ;
[0011] Step 5: Calculate the diversion strip spacing under the condition of lightning directly striking the diversion strip ;
[0012] Step 6: Calculate the diversion strip spacing under the condition of lightning striking the diversion strip after surface flashover ;
[0013] Step 7: Establish a double-condition constraint model for the diversion strip spacing.
[0014] The present application is also characterized by:
[0015] In step 1, the distance H is specifically solved by an empirical formula, which is as follows:
[0016] (1)

[0022] In step 5:
[0023] The condition for lightning directly hitting the shunt strip is that the total air breakdown voltage drop between the lightning starting point and the shunt strip is less than or equal to the voltage drop from the lightning starting point to the protected device, which is equal to the sum of the air breakdown voltage drop from the lightning starting point to the radome shell, the breakdown voltage drop of the radome shell material, and the air breakdown voltage drop from the radome shell to the protected device .
[0024] According to the condition for directly hitting the shunt strip, the relationship between the total air breakdown voltage drop between the lightning starting point and the shunt strip and the voltage drop from the lightning starting point to the protected device is constructed, which is specifically as follows:

[0026] Wherein: is the air breakdown field strength; is the straight-line distance from the lightning starting point to the nearest shunt strip; H is the distance between the lightning starting point and the radome shell; is the breakdown field strength of the radome shell material; is the thickness of the radome shell; This is the minimum distance between the protected device and the antenna housing.
[0027] In formula (2), the straight-line distance from the lightning origin to the nearest shunt strip is... The expression is:
[0028] (3)
[0029] Substituting formula (3) into formula (2), the spacing between the shunt bars under the condition of direct lightning strike is calculated. Satisfy the following expression:
[0030] (4).
[0031] In step 6:
[0032] The condition for a lightning strike to hit the shunt bar after a surface flashover is: when lightning strikes but does not penetrate the radome housing, the insulation breakdown voltage drop required for air breakdown along the distance from the flashover point on the radome housing surface to the shunt bar is... It must be less than the breakdown voltage drop of the radome housing material. ;
[0033] Based on the conditions under which a lightning flashover occurs and then strikes the shunt bar, the insulation breakdown voltage drop of the radome housing material is constructed. The insulation breakdown voltage drop required for air breakdown along the distance from the flash point on the radome housing to the shunt strip. The relationship between the two insulation breakdown voltage drops is used to ensure that the two insulation breakdown voltage drops satisfy formula (5), as follows:
