Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lightning protection technology, specifically a lightning protection device for transformers. Background Technology

[0002] In power systems, transformers are core equipment for power transmission and transformation, and their safe and stable operation is crucial. However, lightning strikes are one of the main threats to transformer safety. Statistics show that transformer failures caused by lightning strikes account for a significant proportion of power equipment failures. These failures not only cause direct damage such as insulation breakdown and winding burnout, but also trigger large-scale power outages, resulting in substantial economic losses and social impact.

[0003] Traditional transformer lightning protection equipment, such as ordinary lightning rods and conventional surge arresters, has many shortcomings. Ordinary lightning rods have limited protection range and are prone to generating electromagnetic pulses and ground potential backflash during lightning strikes, which can interfere with or even damage transformers and surrounding sensitive electronic equipment. Conventional surge arresters often fail to meet the requirements for current carrying capacity, weather resistance, and insulation performance when dealing with strong lightning currents and complex environments (such as heavy pollution and extreme temperature and humidity), and their maintenance costs are high. For example, traditional gap-type surge arresters are gradually being phased out of the market due to their unstable protection characteristics. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model achieves this through the following technical solution: a lightning arrester for transformers, comprising: a lightning arrester, a lightning-attracting electrode fixedly installed on the outer surface of the lightning arrester, a down-leading assembly fixedly installed at the bottom of the lightning arrester, a winding frame fixedly installed at the bottom of the down-leading assembly, and a grounding assembly fixedly installed at the bottom of the winding frame; the lightning-attracting electrode on the lightning arrester actively attracts lightning and guides the lightning to the lightning arrester. The lightning-attracting electrode increases the lightning-attracting range and efficiency of the lightning arrester, enabling it to more actively capture lightning and reduce the probability of the transformer being struck by lightning.

[0005] The lead-down assembly includes an extension member, an insulating ceramic seat is fixedly installed inside the extension member, a positioning pad is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the insulating ceramic seat, an insulating tube is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the positioning pad, an extension rod is fixedly installed at the center of the outer surface of the insulating tube, a discharge ball is fixedly installed at the top of the extension rod, and a ring is fixedly installed inside the discharge ball.

[0006] Preferably, the extension component is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lightning arrester, the extension rod extends through the extension component to its outer side, and three positioning pads are provided, which are distributed circumferentially on the surface of the insulating ceramic base. The insulating ceramic base is fixedly installed at the middle of the top of the winding frame. Lightning is transmitted from the lightning arrester to the extension component of the downlead assembly.

A lightning protection wire, made of iron wire, is connected inside the wiring groove and is coiled on the surface of the winding ring. The lower part of the lightning protection wire is buried in the soil. When lightning is transmitted to the lightning protection wire, the lightning current can be buffered to a certain extent, making the current transmission more stable and reducing the impact of instantaneous large current on the equipment.

[0010] Preferably, the grounding assembly includes two frame plates. Connecting rods are fixedly installed on the outer edges of both frame plates. Three connecting rods are provided, and mounting rods are fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the three connecting rods. A round pad is fixedly installed at the bottom of each mounting rod.

The structure of multiple connecting rods, multiple mounting rods, and round pads increases the grounding area, improves the stability and reliability of the grounding, and ensures that lightning can be efficiently conducted into the ground.

[0011] This utility model provides a lightning protection device for transformers. It has the following beneficial effects: I. The lightning protection device for this transformer transmits lightning from the lightning arrester to the extension of the downconductor assembly. The extension assembly's central guide rod, inclined support rod, and other structures disperse and conduct the lightning to the insulating ceramic base. From there, it is further guided downwards through insulating tubes, extension rods, and other components. Simultaneously, discharge spheres and rings assist in the dispersion and discharge of lightning.

The structure of multiple connecting rods, multiple mounting rods, and the circular pad increases the grounding area, improves the stability and reliability of the grounding, and ensures that lightning can be efficiently conducted into the ground.
