Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lightning protection voltage limiters, in particular to a device for testing power frequency discharge of a lightning protection voltage limiter. Background Art
[0002] Lightning arresters (SALs) are used to protect electronic equipment from damage caused by lightning or electrical surges. They are typically installed in power lines, signal lines, or grounding systems to absorb or limit surge voltages and protect connected equipment. SALs typically contain components such as metal oxide varistors (MOVs) and gas discharge tubes (GDTs). These components exhibit high impedance under normal operating voltages but rapidly reduce impedance when a surge voltage occurs, directing the surge energy to the ground, thereby protecting the equipment.
[0003] The power frequency discharge voltage of a lightning arrester (SAL) refers to the voltage at which a gradually increasing 50Hz power frequency voltage is applied to the arrester's insulation gap or dielectric until the gap or dielectric breaks down due to discharge. This voltage is known as the power frequency discharge voltage. The power frequency discharge voltage is one of the key electrical characteristic parameters of a SAL. Only SALs that meet specified power frequency discharge voltage requirements can function properly and protect equipment from atmospheric overvoltage damage. The purpose of measuring the power frequency discharge voltage of a SAL is primarily to verify its discharge characteristics. Comparing the measured value with the standard value provides information on the arc extinguishing capability of the arrester and the insulation condition of its internal components. However, current SAL test equipment for power frequency discharge of SALs is either complex and costly, or has poor anti-interference capabilities, making it inadequate for SAL testing.
